Lemony Green Peas in a Pod

 

Serves 4

 

 

1/2 cup water

1 1/4 teaspoons coarse salt, plus more to taste

1 lemon, cut into eight wedges

4 cups fresh whole green (10 ounces) 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

 

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.
