Buttery Minted Peas


This is a super easy side dish that goes great with a variety of entrees, especially wild-caught sablefish (or other white fish). The butter makes the peas creamy and the mint brightens everything up.

Best of all, it comes together in a snap and you can use either fresh or frozen organic peas. I keep mint growing almost year round, so it’s easy to snip off a few leaves for this recipe.
