Minted Peas and Shallots Recipe

Minted Peas and Shallots Recipe

  • 2 teaspoons canola oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped shallots
  • 3 cups fresh or frozen peas (see Tip)
  • 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • Pinch of sugar
  • 2 tablespoons shredded fresh mint
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
  1. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and cook, stirring, until softened and beginning to color, about 3 minutes. Stir in peas, broth and sugar. Increase heat to medium-high and cook until the peas are just tender and most of the liquid has evaporated, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in mint and butter. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
