I have been thinking of simple yet delicious side dishes lately. Something from the ho yum, steamed broccoli or boiled carrots. A side dish that says “fresh” and that can accompany everything from lamb, chicken, seafood and beef.  These Buttery Mint Carrots and Snap Peas are it!

Snap peas are something that I never cook unless it is in a stir fry. The bright green color is easily locked in with a quick steam and then run under cold water. The carrots also won’t go mushy if you use the same technique.

This can all be done ahead of time and then a fast saute in butter to warm them back up. Freshly ground pepper, a generous amount of salt and a tossed with mint and you are ready to go.

I love the mixture of the carrots and snap peas together, their flavors work so nicely off one another. Plus their colors are vibrant and so pretty. I could eat the whole bowl myself with that lovely butter and fresh mint taste.

A great side dish where the vegetables can be steamed ahead of time and then reheated with a toss in butter.

    This is a delicious and yet simple recipe. I also like to steam and then cold shock to keep the colours vibrant and have a little crunch still. I will be trying the addition of mint, (I usually use it over peas!). I am looking forward to this dish with my Sunday Roast. Thank you!
