Thawed frozen peas are added and warmed briefly to bring them to serving temperature without losing their tender snap. Incorporating butter adds a smooth, rich coating to the vegetables, enhancing their mouthfeel. Finely minced fresh dill is stirred in last off the heat, lending a fresh, slightly tangy herbaceousness that complements the sweetness of the peas and carrots.
