1
Prepare the Peas
Rinse the fresh green peas under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities. Drain and set aside.
2
Melt the Butter
In a medium-sized saucepan, add the butter and place it over medium heat. Allow the butter to melt completely without browning.

3
Cook the Peas
Once the butter is melted, add the rinsed peas to the saucepan. Stir them gently to coat them in the butter.
4
Season the Peas
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the peas. Stir to combine and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the peas are tender and bright green.
5
Add Fresh Mint
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the freshly chopped mint leaves. Mix well to distribute the mint flavor throughout the peas.

6
Serve the Dish
Transfer the cooked peas to a serving dish and serve immediately as a side dish, garnished with additional mint leaves if desired.
