Ingredients
1 1/2 teaspoons unsalted butter
2 cans (15 ounces each) reduced-sodium peas, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat, swirling to coat the bottom evenly.
Add the drained and rinsed peas to the skillet and stir to combine with the butter.
Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peas are heated through.
Remove from heat and drizzle with lemon juice, then sprinkle with black pepper and stir well to distribute the seasonings evenly.
Transfer to a serving dish and top with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve warm.
Comments
Every ingredient is a staple at every major Charlotte grocer, and frozen peas mean zero waste and year-round availability. The ten-minute stated time is honest for a simple butter-sauté-and-finish dish with no hidden prep. At roughly seventy cents per serving for a full recipe, this is genuinely cheap and leans on pantry basics that rarely spike in price. The only minor friction is that seven servings is an odd yield, making it awkward for a family of four or six, and the dish does not improve as a leftover—reheated peas lose their snap and the lemon turns stale-tasting by the next day.
