Buttered Green Sugar Snap Peas

"Here is an incredibly simple, incredibly fast side dish that makes the most of great ingredients. The flavors are summery, but go equally well in a fall repast."

Ingredients:

  • 1  pound sugar snap peas
  •  Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 2  tablespoons butter
  • 1  tablespoon shredded fresh mint


Directions:

  1. Pluck off and discard the string from each pea pod.
  2. Bring salted water to boil; there should be enough to cover peas when added. Add peas. When water returns to a boil, cook about 3 minutes. Do not overcook. Drain.
  3. Return peas to saucepan. Add pepper, salt, butter and mint. Stir to blend until the pieces are well coated and hot. Serve immediately.
