Ingredients:

1 tbsp butter
16g
2 cups peas
240g
1 cup green beans
230g
2 garlic cloves
6g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:
- If using fresh green beans, wash them thoroughly, trim the ends, and cut them into 1-inch pieces.
- If using frozen peas, let them thaw slightly by leaving them at room temperature for a few minutes.
2. Cook the Peas and Beans:
- Fill a medium-sized pot with water and bring it to a boil over high heat.
- Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until they are tender but still crisp.
- Add the peas to the pot and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Drain the peas and green beans using a colander and set them aside.
3. Prepare the Garlic:
- Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.
4. Make the Minted Garlic Butter:
- In a large skillet or frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Once the butter is melted and bubbly, add the minced garlic. Sauté the garlic for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant and golden, but be careful not to let it burn.
- (Optional) Chop some fresh mint leaves and stir them into the garlic butter for a burst of fresh flavor.
5. Combine and Serve:
- Add the drained peas and green beans to the skillet with the garlic butter. Stir well to coat the vegetables evenly with the garlic butter.
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is well heated through.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Garnish and Enjoy:
- Transfer the peas and beans with minted garlic butter to a serving dish.
- (Optional) Garnish with additional chopped fresh mint leaves for a fragrant touch.

Tips:

- For an extra burst of flavor, add freshly chopped mint leaves to the butter along with the garlic.

- Blanch the peas and beans to retain their bright color and crisp texture before adding them to the pan.

- Use high-quality, fresh garlic for the best flavor.

- If you prefer a vegan option, substitute the butter with olive oil or a plant-based butter alternative.
