Recipe Notes
This is the most wonderful side dish. If you can find fresh peas in the market, purchase them and eat them with the next meal. The freshness of the mint and peas with just a hint of sweet honey is delightful. All of this with tons of fiber, lots of Vitamin C and Vitamin A in a serving of lovely legumes.
