I found this recipe to be a bit too simple. I think I'll try adding some other vegetables next time, like carrots or celery.

I'm not a huge fan of peas, but I actually really enjoyed this dish. The mint butter really made all the difference.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover peas. I always have some in my freezer, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can easily throw together.

The mint butter was a nice touch, but the peas themselves were a bit mushy. I think I'll try cooking them for a shorter amount of time next time.

These smashed peas were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some garlic and lemon next time.
