Ismail Merchant's Mustard Peas:

16-oz bag frozen peas, defrosted
3 Tbsp coarse-grained mustard, moutard de Meaux (I use Pommery)
3 tbsp tarragon vinegar
1 tbsp freshly ground pepper
Salt to taste, if desired
1/4 cup peanut oil

Combine mustard, vinegar, pepper, and salt in a mixing bowl and blend well.
Heat oil in skillet and add mustard sauce. Cook, stirring, about four minutes.
Add peas and stir to blend. Heat until peas are ready to eat.
Yield: six servings
