1
Prepare the Peas
If using fresh peas, shell them and rinse under cool water. If using frozen peas, measure out 2 cups and set aside.
2
Chop Vegetables
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic, setting them aside for cooking.
3
Prepare the Broth
Measure out 0.5 cups of vegetable broth and have it ready for use.

4
Sauté the Onion and Garlic
In a medium-sized skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent (about 3-4 minutes). Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
5
Add Peas and Broth
Add the fresh or frozen peas to the skillet, followed by 0.5 cups of vegetable broth. Stir well to combine.
6
Season the Mixture
Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoons of black pepper. Stir the mixture to ensure even seasoning.
7
Simmer
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the peas are tender but still vibrant green.
8
Finish and Serve
Remove the skillet from heat, stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh mint. Serve warm as a side dish.
