You know, I've never had them...but I plan to this year. (I'm planting a swathe of field peas to rehabilitate the soil in part of the yard, and apparently they make good pea shoots.) Have you tried freezing corn? I'm a total corn snob, and I think it tastes good enough to eat when you freeze your own. Just drop the ears in water for 2-3 minutes, cool in cold water, and cut the kernels off with a knife. I can prep and freeze 15-20 ears of corn in an hour, and that makes 2-3 quart bags of frozen corn. That way you can have your corn and it's local, too. :) Frankschulteladbeck – Ooh, pea shoots!

I really liked your commentary leading up to the recipe. I try to prepare foods that are seasonal, but when you have a family that craves that tomato or corn, it is hard to do. My son is trying to outwit me. If it is in the farmers market, isn't seasonal? Well, they truck it in from Mexico. I have some pea shoots right now, and I have used them in this recipe.

They make this at a local yuppie grocery and it's positively addictive so I had to figure out a recipe or go broke. re: sprouts: cf: LAAAAAAAAZZZZZZYYYYYY ;) El: Glad you like it!
