Mashed peas are quick and easy to make, and they're a healthier alternative to mashed potatoes. You can serve them warm or cold. I first ate them at an Irish restaurant in Singapore and fell in love!

Stages of cooking
-
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add frozen peas, green onions, and mint; cook and stir until peas are hot and tender but still bright green, 7 to 10 minutes.

Pour into a bowl and mash until peas are thoroughly crushed but still slightly chunky. Add butter, brown sugar, salt, and pepper; stir until butter melts and sugar dissolves.
