1
Wash the Zipper Peas
Thoroughly rinse the zipper peas under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris.
2
Prepare Optional Ingredients
If using, chop the onion and mince the garlic. Set them aside for cooking.

3
Boil Water
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over high heat.
4
Add Zipper Peas
Once the water is boiling, carefully add the zipper peas and stir to combine.
5
Seasoning
Add 1 tsp of salt to the pot and stir well. If using, add the chopped onion and minced garlic at this point.
6
Simmer
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pot. Let the peas simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until they are tender.
7
Add Butter and Pepper
Once the peas are tender, stir in 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tsp of black pepper. Mix until the butter is melted and evenly coats the peas.
