Ingredients

200 g Frozen Peas
10 g Fresh Mint Leaves
1 tsp Fine/Table Salt
2 tsp Salted Butter

Instructions

Put a kettle of water on to boil.
Measure roughly 200g Frozen Peas directly into a saucepan.
Take around 10g Mint and take off around 7-8 of the nicest looking leaves. Set them aside and put the rest of the leaves and stalks in with the peas.
Add around 1 tsp Fine Salt then cover the peas and mint with boiling water and place on a high heat.
Bring the water to a boil then turn down the heat until it is just simmering away. Allow to cook for around 5 to 7 minutes.
Note - They'll really be fine to eat after 2 minutes but we want to infuse the mint for a little longer than that.
While the peas are boiling, finely slice the set aside mint leaves. And get around 2 tsp Salted Butter ready to hand.
Drain the water and remove the big chunks of mint. This mint has done it's job and can be disposed of.
Add the butter and chopped mint to the hot peas.
Stir until the butter is melted and coating all the peas. If you need to you can put the pan back over a low heat to warm it slightly.
