Recipe: Peas salad with mint
Salads with aromatic herbs
August 29, 2013
This year I'm growing spearmint: it has the fresh aroma characteristic of all varieties of mint, delicate yet persistent, with no wild aftertaste.
I used spearmint and basil for this salad, that can be served as a sidedish but can be considered a full meal served with bread or breadsticks.

Melt the butter in a pan and season with crushed garlic. Cook the peas in butter for 10 minutes until tender, then discard the garlic.
Remove from heat and allow to cool.
