Here's an adaptation of a dish served at The Greenhouse Tavern, in Cleveland. At their peak, English peas are grilled and then eaten straight out of the pod, edamame-style. The recipe comes courtesy of the restaurant’s owner, Iron Chef America contender Jonathon Sawyer, who enjoys preparing the peas at home with his kids. Photo: Bridget Rehner.
