Ingredients
Vegetables
- 2 large carrots
- 2 cups frozen green peas
Other Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon salted butter
- ½ teaspoon dried dill
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the carrots: Peel the carrots and slice them into ¼-inch pieces to ensure even cooking and tender texture.
- Cook the carrots: Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the carrot slices and cook for about 5 minutes until they are just tender but still crisp.
- Add peas and dill: Stir in the frozen green peas, dried dill, and 1 tablespoon of water. Cover the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes or until the peas are heated through completely.
- Finish with butter and seasoning: Remove the lid, add the salted butter, and toss everything well to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh peas in season for a sweeter taste if preferred.
- Adjust dill amount according to your flavor preference.
- This dish pairs well with roasted or grilled meats and fish.
- To make it vegan, substitute the butter with a plant-based butter alternative.
- Using a non-stick skillet ensures the vegetables do not stick and burn.
