Add frozen peas and butter to a preheated skillet. Sauté over medium heat until the butter is bubbly and the peas are warmed – about 5 minutes.
Add chopped mint and season to taste with salt.
Mix well and then serve.

Add about 2 inches (5 centimeters) of water to a saucepan. Top with a steamer basket and bring the water to a boil.
Add the frozen vegetables to the basket. Cover and steam for about 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the hot peas to a serving dish and stir in butter, salt and herbs.
Serve.

Lightly oil and microwave safe dish.
Combine the frozen peas, butter, salt and about 3 tablespoons of water in the dish.
Microwave on high for 1 minute.
Stir and then heat in 30 seconds increments until heated through.

Do not defrost peas in advance.
Try adding a small amount of sugar. It won’t make them sweet but compliments the natural flavors.
Don’t add salt until just before serving, as salt can dry out the peas.
Peas are already cooked, so you just need to warm them. Don’t overcook them.
Shorter cooking times will yield crisper peas. For softer peas, add a minute or two to the cooking time.
Storage - keep leftovers in an airtight container inside the fridge for 5 days.
