Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

25g butter
1 shallot, peeled and roughly chopped
200ml vegetable or chicken stock
400g frozen peas
small handful of mint leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over a medium heat and sizzle the shallot for 5 mins until soft. Add the stock and peas, and bring to a simmer. Cook gently for 10 mins until the peas are soft.
