1
Boil the Peas
In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add the frozen peas and cook for about 3-5 minutes until they are tender.
2
Drain the Peas
Once cooked, drain the peas in a colander and set aside.

3
Mash the Peas
In the same saucepan, add the drained peas back in and mash them using a potato masher or fork until they are mostly smooth but still have some texture.
4
Add Butter and Seasonings
Stir in the butter, salt, black pepper, and chopped fresh mint leaves. Mix well until the butter is melted and everything is well combined.

5
Optional Additions
If desired, stir in lemon juice and heavy cream for added flavor and creaminess.
6
Serve
Transfer the mushy peas to a serving bowl and serve warm as a delightful side dish.
