- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1 lb frozen peas
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- Sauté garlic: Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the finely minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until it turns light golden and releases a fragrant aroma.
- Cook peas: Add the frozen peas along with salt, black pepper, and water to the pan. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the water evaporates, the peas are heated through, and coated evenly with the garlic butter.
- Serve: Transfer the garlic buttered peas to a bowl and serve immediately as a flavorful side dish.
Notes
- Use frozen peas directly from the freezer for convenience and the best texture.
- To make this dish vegan, substitute butter with olive oil or a plant-based margarine.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste before serving.
- If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, reduce the garlic cloves to one.
- This recipe pairs well with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or pasta dishes.
