GLAZED PEAS AND POTATOES WITH MINT

GLAZED PEAS AND POTATOES WITH MINT image

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups shelled fresh peas
3/4 pound new or red potatoes, unpeeled, cut into 1/2-inch
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped

Steps:

Put peas in a bowl.
Place potatoes in a pot and cover with lightly salted cold water. Bring to a boil. Cook until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes.
Drain potatoes, pouring enough hot cooking liquid over peas to cover. Let peas stand 30 seconds, then drain and rinse under cold water.
Melt butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add peas, potatoes, broth, and salt. Cook, stirring, until liquid reduces to a glaze, 5 to 7 minutes.
Stir in parsley and mint.
Note: Two pounds of fresh pea pods yield about 2 cups of shelled peas. You can substitute 1 (10-ounce) package of frozen peas.
