Snap Peas with Mint

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
1 pound trimmed snap peas
1/2 cup (packed) thinly sliced fresh mint leaves
Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper

Preparation

  1. In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, bring 1 cup water and the butter to a boil over high heat. Add the snap peas; cover, and cook until bright green, about 2 minutes.
