Ingredients
- 330 g Frozen peas
- 2 tablespoon Butter
- 4 Spring onions (Scallions)
- 2 tablespoon Fresh mint finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh mint finely chopped
- 0.5 Lemon Juice and zest only
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 pinch Sea salt
- 1 pinch Ground black pepper
Instructions
- Melt 2 tablespoon Butter in a pan. Add 4 Spring onions (Scallions) and cook over a low heat for 2 minutes.
- Add 330 g Frozen peas and 2 tablespoon Fresh mint. Mix well.
- Add enough boiled water to cover all the peas. Put a lid on the pan and return to the heat for 2-3 minutes.
- Drain the peas. Add 1 pinch Sea salt, 1 pinch Ground black pepper, juice and zest of 0.5 Lemon, 1 tablespoon Olive oil and 1 tablespoon Fresh mint. Mix well and serve.
Notes
- Don't add salt to peas when cooking, as this can actually toughen them up. Instead, add the salt just before serving.
- Don't use canned peas, as these will go mushy when cooked.
- If you use dried mint, then you will need less as it has a more intense flavour.
