Notes

Don't over-salt the peas, you can always add more salt when serving. Plus, salting them too early can dehydrate them.
Don't skip the dill. Peas and dill really go great together, and this dish just isn't the same without the dill. I recommend fresh dill for the most flavor.
Let the peas cool, then transfer to a shallow, airtight container and store in the fridge. Properly stored, your sautéed peas will last for 3-5 days in the refrigerator!
Transfer leftovers to an airtight container and store in the freezer for up to 6 months.
