Ingredients

• 3 cups fresh or frozen peas
• 2 cups button mushrooms, sliced
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small onion, finely diced
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 cups vegetable stock or water
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

If using frozen peas, bring a small pot of water to a boil and blanch the peas for 2-3 minutes, then drain and set aside. If using fresh peas, rinse them thoroughly and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown.

Step 6

Season the mushroom mixture with salt and black pepper.

Step 7

Pour in the vegetable stock or water, stirring to deglaze the pan, and cook for 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 8

Add the peas to the skillet and toss gently to coat them in the buttery mushroom mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the peas are tender and heated through.

Step 9

Sprinkle the dish with fresh parsley, and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a side dish with your favorite main course.
