Ingredients

  • 80 ml olive oil
  • 500 g frozen peas thawed
  • 2 cloves of garlic or 1 shallot very finely sliced
  • A small bunch of fresh mint (or basil if you like) leaves roughly chopped
  • Grated zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method

  • Put three-quarters of the oil into a saucepan with the garlic or shallot, mint and peas. Add the salt and pepper, together with about three tablespoons of cold water. Cover with a lid and simmer over a moderate heat for about five minutes, then remove from the heat and add the lemon zest.
  • Pour the peas into a wide shallow dish and top with the remaining oil. Check the seasoning and leave to sit for five minutes before serving.
