Sugar Snap Peas with Mint and Mushrooms can be a special brunch or treat on any day of the week. Great fresh or cooked which makes them doubly enticing.
Sugar Snap Peas with Mushrooms and Mint is the perfect side dish. I don’t know why but I always forget about sugar snap peas. At our local grocery store they come packaged over by the lettuce.
I must be so enamored with all the varieties of lettuce that my eyes jump over the sugar snaps. Not anymore!
It is ingrained in my memory and that sweet little veggie is going to make it into our house on a regular basis. They are equally good fresh or cooked which makes this vegetable extremely versatile.
Grab yourself a bag or pound and have a great side dish.
