Yes, you can freeze it for up to 3 months. Let it cool completely, then transfer to a freezer safe container. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.

4. What can I add for more vegetables?

You can stir in diced bell peppers with the onion, or add corn kernels along with the peas. Diced zucchini also works well.
