Minty Peas and Onions

Mother always relied on peas and onions when she was in a hurry and needed a quick side dish. Besides being easy to prepare, this recipe was loved by everyone in our family. It was handed down to my mother by my grandmother

Ingredient

2 large onions, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 packages (16 ounces each) frozen peas
2 tablespoons minced fresh mint or 2 teaspoons dried mint

Direction

In a large skillet, saute onions and red pepper in oil until onions just begin to soften. Add peas; cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until heated through. Stir in mint and cook for 1 minute.
