Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 50g (3 tbsp) unsalted butter (or other oil/fat)
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 500g (1 lb) frozen peas
  • 1/2 tsp cooking or kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp water

Instructions

  1. Sauté Garlic: Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the finely minced garlic and cook for approximately 30 seconds until it turns a light golden color, releasing its aroma without burning.
  2. Cook the Peas: Add the frozen peas, salt, black pepper, and water to the pan. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the water has evaporated, the peas are heated through, and fully coated with the garlic butter sauce.
  3. Serve: Transfer the garlic buttered peas into a serving bowl and serve immediately as a delicious side dish.

Notes

  • You can substitute unsalted butter with olive oil or any preferred fat for a different flavor.
  • Stirring occasionally prevents the garlic from burning and ensures even cooking.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste depending on your preference.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best aroma and flavor.
  • Serve warm for optimal taste and texture.
