  • Yield Serves 4

Ingredients

    • 1/2 cup water
    • 1 1/4 teaspoons coarse salt, plus more to taste
    • 1 lemon, cut into eight wedges
    • 4 cups (10 ounces) fresh whole green peas, (in pods)
    • 1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    • 1 small clove garlic, minced
    • Freshly ground pepper
    • 1 tablespoon roughly chopped fresh mint leaves

Directions

  1. Place 1/2 cup water and the salt in a large skillet. Squeeze juice from each lemon wedge into the pan, adding the lemon wedges 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.
  2. Remove the lid from the skillet, and continue to simmer until almost all the water has evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add 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 1 1/2 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat.
  3. Add mint, and toss to combine. Transfer peas to a serving platter, and serve warm.
