To prepare, simply heat the contents of the can in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through. You can also microwave the peas in a microwave-safe dish. For a richer flavor, consider adding a touch of sofrito or a bay leaf while heating. They are excellent served alongside grilled meats, poultry, or fish, and are a staple for creating flavorful rice dishes.
