This dish is a simple yet versatile recipe that pairs well with almost any summer entree.
Ingredients
PEAS Peas are actually a type of bean with edible seeds (and sometimes an edible pod). This pretty side dish has a combo of crisp snap peas or snow peas (see the differences here) and frozen (or fresh) English peas. You can use just one or the other if it’s all you have on hand. SEASONINGS Lemon and dill give butter peas a bright and zesty flavor that really makes them shine.
Variations
Garnish peas with toasted pine nuts, or add diced carrots for even more colorful flavor. Add some mint and garlic or other favorite herbs from the garden. Green peas are great with onions that have been sauteed in butter.

Leftovers
