Macho Peas-style pea side

Ingredients

• 500 g frozen peas (defrosted)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 small red chilli, finely chopped
• Small handful fresh mint, chopped
• Zest and juice of 1 lemon
• Salt and pepper

Method

1. Sauté. Heat olive oil in a pan. Sauté garlic and chilli for 30 seconds until fragrant.
2. Peas. Add the peas. Cook 3–4 minutes until heated through but still bright green.
3. Finish. Off the heat. Add mint, lemon zest, lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Serve. Warm, with extra lemon wedges.

Tips

• Frozen peas are fine. Don’t use tinned — too mushy.
• Fresh mint is non-negotiable. Dried is a different dish.
• Lots of lemon. The brightness is what makes it.
