Ingredients

  • 50g soft butter
  • 1 shallot, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, grated
  • 1 red chilli, sliced
  • 400g frozen peas, defrosted
  • small handful mint, leaves roughly chopped
  • 3 pork scratchings, crushed, to serve (optional, don’t use if you want this to be veggie or gluten-free)

Method

  1. Heat the butter in a small frying pan, once bubbling, add the shallot and fry for 1 min. Add the garlic and chilli and cook for 1 min more, then tip in the peas and reheat. Take off the heat and stir in the mint, season and serve. Sprinkle over the pork scratchings, if using – they add a nice crunchy texture.
