Buttery Peas with Thyme

Yield: 4 Servings

Prep Time: 5

Cook Time: 5

Total Time: 10

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
½ cup yellow onion, finely chopped (about 1/2 medium onion)
2 teaspoons sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
2 medium garlic cloves, finely minced
3 cups frozen peas
½ teaspoon dried thyme, or 1 teaspoon fresh
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

In a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the onion, sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook until the onion is softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Stir in the peas and thyme and cook, stirring often, until the peas are just heated through, about 3 minutes. Season with black pepper (and additional salt if desired) and serve immediately.
