Peas with Mint and Butter
I used to struggle with peas as a boy, but throwing in a little fresh mint makes a world of difference. Peas take no time to cook, so you can do this at the very last minute.

Ingredients
- 500g frozen peas, defrosted if you like
- ¼ Knorr Chicken Stock Pot
- 25–50g butter
- 2 large sprigs of fresh mint (leaves only), optional
Method
- Add butter to a pan with a drop of water (approx. 2–3 tablespoons) and throw in the Knorr Chicken Stock Pot. Dissolve the mixture on a high heat to create an emulsion (a liquid dispersed into another liquid).
- Once dissolved, add the peas and reduce for 1–2 minutes. This will help to concentrate the liquid and the flavour.
- Just before serving add the fresh herbs and serve.
- Healthy Tip: Use Flora Buttery rather than butter.
- The perfect accompaniment to meat or fish and you could even add them to a dull salad! For lots more hints and tips to help you make the most of your food, visit www.lovefoodhatewaste.com
