Green Pea Salad With Mint Food

SUPER EASY GREEN PEAS WITH MINT RECIPE

Steps:

• In a pan, add the chopped onion and saute it in oil/butter for a few minutes until becomes translucent.
• Add the green peas and enough water to barely cover them.
• Add salt and pepper to taste and let the peas simmer until they get soft but not mushy.(about 5-7 minutes)
• When peas are soft, add the chopped mint or the dried one.
• Serve the peas as a side dish next to any kind of meat.

MINTY PEA SALAD

Steps:

• Let the peas thaw in a colander to allow excess moisture to drain away. Rinsing briefly with cool water will expedite the thawing process.
• While the peas are thawing, prepare the lemon and shallot vinaigrette. Zest the lemon using a zester or a small holed cheese grater. Be sure to scrape off just the yellow zest and none of the bitter white pith. Set the zest aside, then squeeze about 2 tablespoons of the juice into a separate bowl.
• Peel the dry, papery skin from the shallot, then mince it finely. Add it to the bowl with the lemon juice, along with 2 Tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and some freshly cracked pepper (5-10 cranks of a pepper mill). Whisk the ingredients together until combined, then set aside.
• Rinse the mint to remove any dirt or debris. Pull the leaves from the stems and then slice into thin strips (or chop roughly).
• Add the thawed peas to a large bowl along with the vinaigrette, mint, and a hefty pinch of the lemon zest. Stir to combine, then taste and add more zest if desired. Serve immediately, or refrigerate to allow the flavors to blend.

CRISPY GRAIN SALAD WITH PEAS AND MINT

Steps:

• Spread grains on a paper towel-lined baking sheet; let stand 1 hour. Heat safflower oil in a large pot until a thermometer reaches 350 degrees. Add grains, a cup at a time. Cook until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Remove with a fine sieve; transfer to another paper towel-lined sheet. Season with salt. (Return oil to 350 degrees before frying subsequent batches.)
• Prepare an ice-water bath. Cook peas in a pot of salted boiling water until just tender and bright green, about 2 minutes. Transfer to ice-water bath; drain.
• In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, lemon juice, and honey. Slowly drizzle in olive oil. Season with salt and red-pepper flakes.
• In a large serving bowl, combine tender greens, fried grains, peas, mint, and scallions. Drizzle with vinaigrette. Season with salt and serve immediately.
