Lemony green pea snack

4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1¼ teaspoon Salt
1 Lemon; cut into 8 wedges
4 cups Fresh whole green peas in pods
1½ tablespoon Extra-virgin olive oil
1 Garlic clove; minced
1 tablespoon Fresh mint leaves; chopped

Directions

Place ½ cup of water and the salt in a large skillet. Squeeze juice from each lemon wedge into the pan, adding the used lemons as well. Bring water to a simmer over high heat, add the peas, and cover. Simmer until the peas are bright green, about 1 minute. Remove the lid from the skillet, and continue to simmer 1 to 2 minutes until almost all the water has evaporated. Add the olive oil and garlic, and salt and pepper to taste; mix well to combine. Cook, stirring often over high heat until the peas are completely cooked through, about 1½ minutes. Remove the skillet from heat. Add mint, and toss to combine. Transfer peas to a serving platter, and serve warm. Makes 4 servings.
