I made this recipe several years ago, and the family loved it. The next time I went to make it I had lost the recipe, and tried to make it by memory but it was never the same. I found it again today in one of my old cookbooks, and now I know why it never turned out the same, I had forgotten half the ingredients! So I am posting it here on zaar, just in case I loose it again. Ingredients:
1 cup fresh peas or 1 cup frozen peas |
330 g green beans, trimmed |
1/4 cup olive oil |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
3 teaspoons finely grated lemon rind |
1/2 teaspoon caster sugar |
sea salt |
cracked pepper |
2 tablespoons shredded mint |
Directions:
1. Bring a large suacepan of salted water to the boil. Cook the peas for 4 minutes (see note). Add the beans and cook for 2 more minutes.
2. Drain and keep warm.
3. Combine the oil, lemon juice, lemon rind, sugar, salt and pepper in a small saucepan. Cook, stirring, over a low heat for 2 minutes. Remove lemon mixture from the heat and stir through the mint.
4. To serve toss in the peas and beans with warm lemon dressing.
5. Note~ Frozen peas cook quicker than fresh peas. If using frozen peas then only simmer for 2 minutes before adding the beans.
