SNAP PEAS WITH MINT

Steps:

• Pluck off and discard the end of each pea pod.
• Bring enough water to boil to cover the peas. Add salt to taste.
• Add the peas. When the water returns to a boil, simmer the peas for about 3 to 4 minutes. Do not overcook. Drain.
• Meanwhile, drop the tomatoes into boiling water and boil them for 10 seconds. Drain, let cool. Remove the skins and cut the tomatoes into 1/4-inch cubes.
• Heat the butter in a saucepan; add the tomatoes; cook and stir for one minute. Add the peas, mint, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir to blend. Cook for one minute. Add the lemon juice and serve.
