ENGLISH PEAS WITH MINT



English Peas with Mint image

Be sure to use fresh English peas, as they have a sweet, delicate flavor well worth the time-consuming effort of shelling them. If you're cooking with children, you can entrust them with the job. Their little fingers are ideal for this type of work

MINTY PEAS & ONIONS



Minty Peas & Onions image

I have served this delicious side dish many times over the years. The original recipe came from one of my favorite community cookbooks,"Enough to Feed an Army." I usually serve this as an accompaniment to lamb as the mint flavor blends quite nicely with lamb. If you are in a hurry, you can simply melt the butter in the pan and proceed wthout waiting for it to brown. Since mint plays a major role in this recipe, is it highly recommend that you stick with fresh rather than dried mint. Tip: I snip my mint leaves with kitchen shears.

2 tablespoons minced fresh mint leaves

Tips:

  • Select the freshest peas possible. Fresh peas have a sweeter flavor and a more tender texture than frozen or canned peas.
  • Use a variety of onions. Different types of onions, such as yellow, red, and white, can add different flavors and colors to the dish.
  • Don't overcook the peas. Peas should be cooked until they are tender but still retain their bright green color. Overcooked peas will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Season the peas to taste. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all common seasonings that can be used to enhance the flavor of peas.
  • Serve the peas immediately. Peas are best served fresh out of the pan. If you need to store them, let them cool completely before refrigerating them in an airtight container. They will keep for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.

Conclusion:

Minty peas and onions is a simple but delicious dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or as a main course. It is a great way to use fresh peas and onions, and it is a healthy and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
