Ingredients

1 1/4 pounds fresh green peas or one 10-ounce package frozen
1/2 pound fresh mushrooms
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

If fresh peas are used, there should be about 1 1/2 cups of them, shelled. Drop the peas into boiling water and let simmer about five minutes or less until tender. Drain. If frozen peas are used, put them in a sieve and pour boiling water over them briefly until all are unfrozen. Set aside.
Meanwhile, cut the mushrooms into quarters.
Heat the butter in a saucepan and add the shallots. Cook briefly, stirring. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, about five minutes. Add salt and pepper. Add the cream and cook, stirring, about one minute. Add the peas, stir to blend and serve immediately.
