How to cook 'mature' English peas

[TexasJerseyMilker]

I let my English pea vines get away from me. Today I pulled the vines up out of the grass, harvested the whole lot and shelled out 2lbs. They are big ole tending toward starchy peas, not the tender new peas I picked before. Should I pressure cook them? What?

Our resident Englishman Devonian should be able to answer that one for you.
My expertise on peas is to stick them in boiling water.

Sorry I'm a farmer (well try to be) not a gardener or a cook I dislike gardening its too fiddly. I agree with ken put them in water.

I figured it out. Soaked them in cold water overnight and all were tender. So I packed them up and froze them. That's too many peas. I think I'll go take a pea.
