Minted Peas?

[Rosemary]

How do you make minted peas? The last time I tried I threw a spring of fresh mint into the pan with the peas. The whole house smelt of mint but the peas tasted like normal boring peas!! So what did I do wrong?

Hmm. Well, if you're gonna do it properly then you have to marinate them overnight. As a quick solution chuck the mint in at the end of the cooking. It's like cooking with cheese, it always goes in at the very end of the process. Learnt from a very earnest chef in Crete.

I cheat! Stir half a teaspoon of mint sauce and a small amount of butter into the cooked peas - works a treat!

It might be cheating but it does sound very tasty! Thanks for the tip

Hate garden pease but love minted overcooked mushy peas.

Chop them up very finely then allow to marinate overnight.
