Boiled peas and carrots combined their texture and flavors to make a delicious vegetable dish. Peas are soft, while the carrots tend to be firmer. By combining the two together, there is one less pan to wash. Cooked together, the carrots will not be sweetened. The combined flavor of peas and carrots improves the flavor of both. Any leftovers can be used in later casserole dishes or soups. In fact, this can be a great way to prepare for batches of leftover foods. After cooking, the peas and carrots can easily be frozen together to thaw when needed.
