“Not to be a total boss, but I think you should make these for dinner tonight” – Nigel Slater

Serves 2 as a side dish

4 tablespoons olive oil
1½ cups frozen green peas

2 sprigs fresh mint
Salt

Pour the oil into a medium saucepan and add the peas, onion slices, and mint. Add the salt and one tablespoon of water, and cover with a lid. Bring to a boil, then turn down the heat and simmer over low heat for 6 to 7 minutes. Shake the pan occasionally. Serve hot.
