2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

3 1/2 cups fresh or frozen peas
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Season with salt and pepper; serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh peas. If using frozen peas, thaw them before cooking.
  • Shallots add a mild oniony flavor to the dish. If you don't have shallots, you can use a small yellow onion instead.
  • White wine adds a touch of acidity and brightness to the dish. If you don't have white wine, you can use chicken broth or water instead.
  • Fresh herbs, such as parsley, thyme, or chives, add a nice finishing touch to the dish.
  • Peas with shallots can be served as a side dish or as a main course. If serving as a main course, consider adding some grilled chicken or fish.
