Ingredients
- 4 cups frozen green peas
- 4 large shallots, peeled, halved, and cut into 1/4 inch slices
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped (plus more for garnish)
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil, butter, and shallots. Saute the shallots until softened and lightly browned - about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the garlic and continue to cook for 2 minutes.
- Next, add the frozen green peas, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir into the shallots and garlic. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until the peas are heated all the way through.
- Turn off heat. Add parsley and stir into the green peas.
- Plate, garnish, and serve immediately.
Notes
When buying frozen green peas, purchase the larger green peas, not the petite. The smaller peas cook too quickly in the skillet and lose their bright green colour.
