Minty Green Peas

This is a classic flavor combo that you've just got to try! Kicked up with a little onion and rolling around in some butter -- green peas never had it so good!

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup minced yellow onion
• 1 pound frozen green peas, not thawed
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint

Instructions

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.

Add the onion and cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes.

Add the peas and water and bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the saucepan, and simmer until tender, about 4 minutes.

Remove from the heat.

Add the salt and mint and stir.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the peas to serving plates.

Serve hot.

YIELD: About 3 cups, serving 4 to 6
