Cook's Illustrated/Allrecipes

This is a combination of two recipes from Cook's and Allrecipes.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon Unsalted butter

1 Small shallot, minced (about 2 t)

1 Small clove garlic, minced (about 1/2 t)

1/2 lb Frozen peas (1.5 C)

Table salt and ground black pepper to taste

1 tablespoon Chopped fresh mint

Preparation

Melt the butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet (I use my Corningware skillet) over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and garlic and cook until softened, about 1 minute. Stir in the peas. Cover and cook until the peas are heated through, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and toss peas with fresh chopped mint. Serve.

Cook's Notes

Don't thaw the peas before adding them to the skillet.
