Ingredients

2 cups frozen peas (about 10 oz)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh mint leaves
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Bring a small saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the frozen peas and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender. Drain well.
In the same saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the drained peas, sugar, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to coat.
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped mint. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately.

Tips

For a more intense mint flavor, add a few whole mint sprigs to the cooking water, then discard before stirring in the chopped mint.
Leftover peas can be chilled and used in salads or as a cold side.
