ok PEAS please!

You know you crave them..those little green orbs of happiness and joy. So here's a simple recipe that will knock your English, pea-lovin socks off.
Ingredients: 
o  frozen peas (yes, they can be absolutely delicious..petite peas are best but any will do)
o  chunk of butter (about 2 tbsp or if you're on a diet, get off the diet)
o  1/2 yellow onion, sliced
o  olive oil
o  sprigs of mint (again, go to your weird neighbor's garden and pick away late at night-just DO NOT mistake mint for his home-grown who-knows-what or you may find yourself face-down, inhaling lint off your friend's flea dust and dna-saturated couch instead of slurping up delicious, buttery English peas....just sayin)

in a large saucepan, bring to boil some water, sliced onion, your big sprig of mint, the chunk of butter,  and a huge splosh of olive oil. When it comes to boil, throw in your peas, a big sweep of salt and bring to boil again, then lower the heat and simmer for about 5 - 10 minutes. Take out mint.
 (some people like their peas more mushy than others...all a matter of taste. This chef prefers her peas more hard than soft)
You can keep the onion in or take it out for a nice cup of tea later.  With a slotted spoon, take out peas and present them in a fancy porcelain bowl -- Cheers!!
NOTE: leftover peas are excellent in pasta or curry or salad or ramen noodles or stinky cheese pasta.
