Peas with Mint and Sour Cream

If you make this recipe with fresh peas, keep in mind that it will take about 30 minutes to shell them.  (Do they still make fresh peas????)  Peas are good with just sour cream too.

Ingredients:

  • 1 (1-lb) bag thawed frozen peas or 1 lb shelled fresh green peas (3 1/2 lb in pods)
  • 3/4 c  sour cream
  • 2 Tab finely chopped fresh mint
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Directions:

  1. If using freshly shelled peas, cook in a 4- to 5-quart saucepan of boiling water (not salted), uncovered, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
  2. Drain in a colander.
  3. Heat cream
  4. Add cooked fresh or thawed frozen peas and cook, stirring, until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in mint, salt, and pepper and briskly simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until peas are well coated, about 1 minute.

Serves:  6
