  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

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

  1. Prepare the carrots: Peel the carrots and slice them into ¼-inch pieces to ensure even cooking and tender texture.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
