Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh peas (or frozen peas, thawed)
- 1.5 cups button mushrooms (sliced)
- 3 stalks scallions (green onions, thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper (freshly cracked)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter.
Once the butter has melted and starts to bubble, add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and sauté them for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to turn golden brown.
Stir in the fresh or thawed peas and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the peas to heat through.
Add the sliced scallions to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes, just until they begin to soften.
Season the mixture with salt and freshly cracked black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Drizzle the dish with freshly squeezed lemon juice, stirring to evenly coat the vegetables.
Remove from heat and transfer the peas, mushrooms, and scallions to a serving dish. Serve warm as a side dish or light main course.
