BAKED PEAS WITH TARRAGON, YOGURT, AND PISTACHIOS
Frozen peas are a gift to the breakaway cook: their creamy, earthy goodness bursts with flavor, and they couldn't be easier to store and prepare. The pesto-like tarragon emulsion, made even creamier by the addition of Greek yogurt, really brings out the best in them, and the sprinkling of pistachios on top lends a lovely toasted, nutty texture. Try them with a broiled fish fillet and a glass of grassy Sauvignon Blanc.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 500˚F. Put the peas in a clay pot or a small Dutch oven and gently heat them on the stove until they thaw, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, put the tarragon, scallions, olive oil, yogurt, and ¼ cup of the pistachios into a blender and puree. Gently mix into the peas, sprinkle the top with extra chopped pistachios, and bake for about 15 minutes-about the time the top will begin to brown. Remove and serve in your best serving bowl.
GRILLED CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH DECONSTRUCTED PESTO
Steps:
- 1. Build a fire in your grill; when the flames have died down, all the coals are covered with gray ash and the temperature is medium (you can hold your hand 5 inches above the grill for about 5 seconds), you're ready to cook. (For a gas grill, turn all burners to high, lower cover and heat for 15 minutes, then turn burners to medium.) 2. Combine the chicken, 3 tablespoons of olive oil and the salt and pepper in a large bowl and toss well to coat, then thread the chicken chunks onto the skewers so they press up against one another but aren't jammed together. 3. Put the skewers on the grill directly over the coals and cook, rolling the skewers around every 3 to 4 minutes to ensure all the sides are more or less evenly exposed to the heat, until lightly seared, about 12 to 14 minutes. To check for doneness, make a small cut and peek inside a couple of the chunks to be sure they are opaque all the way through with no pink. 4. Slide the chicken chunks off the skewers into a large bowl, add all the other ingredients one after the other, toss well to coat evenly, season to taste if needed and serve.
