This is equally good warm or at room temperature. Either way, stir in the mint just before serving. Ingredients:
3 quarts water |
2 1/2 cups shelled green peas (about 2 pounds unshelled) |
3 1/2 cups sugar snap peas, trimmed (about 3/4 pound) |
1 1/2 tablespoons butter |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint |
2 teaspoons grated lemon rind |
Directions:
1. Bring 3 quarts water to a boil in an 8-quart stockpot or Dutch oven. Add green peas to boiling water; cook 1 minute. Add sugar snap peas; cook 2 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and pat dry.
2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add pea mixture, salt, and pepper to pan; cook 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in mint and rind.
