Take a piece of heavy duty aluminum foil - in the center slice some potatoes, onions and carrots thinly - salt and pepper to taste - put a piece of salmon or your favorite fish on top of them - put a pat of butter on top of the fish - sprinkle whatever herbs/spices you like - close them up tightly in the aluminum foil - put on the grill.
Wash the peas well and then cover with boiling water (leave enough room for the peas to double in size) and leave them to soak overnight.
Rinse them well and then cover them with cold water in a large pan. Bring them to the boil and boil them hard for 10 minutes and then simmer them for 1-2 hours (until they're tender. Serve hot, preferably in a polystyrene cup (that's the way they do it on the flag market!) with vinegar.

They are Maple Peas and yes you soaked them and boiled them and then served them with vinegar.
You can steam or boil 'til soft then drain and toss them in a little butter and salt. Lay them out in a roasting pan and put in a warm oven 'til dry.
