To prepare your mise en place, first dice the onion and thinly slice the celery. Remove the leaves from the romaine heart. Cut the leaves down the middle and then slice across into 1/4" -inch slices. Discard any tough ends. Mince the garlic and chiffonade the mint. Gather the butter, oil and frozen peas and set aside.
To cook the dish, first bring a small pot of water to a boil. Season the water with salt (about 1 tsp of salt per liter of water).
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add the onions and celery. Season with salt and pepper to taste and sauté until slightly brown. Pan toss the vegetables from time to time.
Once the vegetables begin to brown, place the frozen peas into the boiling water. Cook for about 1 minute or so and then drain.
While the peas are cooking, add the garlic to the pan. Then add the peas to the vegetables and toss to combine. Add the chopped romaine lettuce and mint and pan toss again.
Finish the dish with the other tablespoon of butter and season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper. Serve immediately.

I had the in-laws over for Easter Dinner yesterday. I made these instead of the usual peas and carrots that they typically ask for and they loved them. Even the two 20 something single guys who I sent doggie bags home with asked for them. Very nice and refreshing change. You must try, definitely a keeper.
Garlic is mentioned as an ingredient, but it is not listed in the recipe. I just assumed it was meant to be added at the start with the celery and onions (?)
Not sure where you're looking. It is actually listed in the text recipe in Step 1 between the mint and butter (1 clove garlic). Cheers!
In Step 2 of the video at 00:54, we show the garlic being added (text has been added to the recipe). Cheers!
I omitted the mint in this dish and tossed in some roughly chopped toasted almonds and pistachios at the end. Served over a bit of brown rice, it made for a delicious lunch!
HI,
I am planning on making this tonight for dinner since we have fresh spring peas. Any ideas of a main that would go with it! Also have some fresh from the garden artichokes. Thanks.
Here are a few main course suggestions that would go nicely with these sauteed peas. For more ideas click on the "main" tab on the left side of the recipes page.
Chicken Marsala
Beef Tenderloin w/ Red Wine Sauce
Almond Sole
Lemon Chicken w/ Pinenuts and Olives
Pork w/ Morel-Calvados Sauce
Roasted Lamb Sirloin
Caprese-Style Steak
Have a nice dinner - Cheers!
This sounds great. Thanks. But if someone in our party doesn't eat olives (okay, it's me), any ideas for substitution? Thanks so much Dawn!
