Ingredients
- 2 shallots or ½ medium sweet onion
- 2 tablespoon mint fresh, chopped volume/weight, can use more to taste
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 2 cup frozen peas (for fresh, see notes)
- 2 tablespoon water approximately
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Peel the shallots, cut in quarters then finely slice. Finely chop the mint leaves, removing any thicker veins - 2 tablespoon is the leaves from around 2 stems.
- Melt the butter over a medium heat in a skillet/frying pan or shallow pan with a lid. Once melted, add the shallots and cook for around 3-4 minutes until they are softened and opaque. If they are just starting to brown, that's fine.
- Add the peas and chopped mint, stir to mix, then add the water and cover with the lid. After a minute, reduce the heat slightly once the peas have defrosted, if frozen, so they steam but cook gently. Cook just a couple minutes in total, then remove the lid and let the liquid reduce. Season with a little salt and pepper, add a little more fresh mint if you like and serve. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice.
Notes
- If using fresh peas, you may want a little more water - around double - and leave them to steam with the lid on around 4 minutes or so until cooked through and vibrant green.
- Photos show a half quantity being made but process is same.
