Ingredients

  • 1 cup frozen green peas
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable broth or chicken broth or water
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cups sugar snap peas or snow peas
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add green peas and water to a medium skillet. Cover and cook over medium high heat 3 minutes or until peas are thawed.
  2. Add butter and snap peas. Cook uncovered 4-5 minutes or until snap peas are tender crisp. Stir in lemon juice and cook until heated through.
  3. Remove from heat and toss with fresh dill. Season with salt & pepper to taste.

Notes

  • If using snow peas, remove the tough stem that is usually left at the tip of the pod and pull off the string to prepare them.
  • If using fresh garden peas that have been shelled, they will take longer than frozen peas to cook, you may need a bit extra broth if it evaporates.
