Toss some in boiling water with garlic cloves until tender, strain, then apply an immersion blender with freshly chopped mint. It's one of my favorite sides with a thick pork chop.

I saw this thread last week, and finally got around to trying this. I've been looking to add more vegetables to my repertoire (been eating healthier and losing weight), and I honestly never thought of peas. Always hated them because they got in the way of the better foods they were added to (see fried rice or some pasta dishes).

But these were fantastic. The mint is perfect - not overpowering but you're right, it's like they were made for each other. I drizzled some olive oil in the food processor to give them a little more substance, but I bet some half and half would be good too (although we start straying from the healthy aspect here).

So thanks. I definitely will be making these again.
