Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 jar (8 oz.) Del Monte® Mushroom Stems and Pieces, well drained
  • 2 Tbsp. cold unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cans (15 oz. each) Del Monte® Very Young Small Sweet Peas, drained
  • 3 Tbsp. finely chopped chives and/or parsley, plus more for garnish
  • 2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
  •  1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  •  1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Pat mushrooms very dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick skillet. Add mushrooms and sauté about 5 minutes until browned. Push mushrooms to one side of the pan and lower heat to medium.
  2. Add butter and garlic. Cook 1-1/2 to 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until butter melts, foams and develops golden brown specks.
  3. Stir in peas and cook about 1 minute until warmed. Remove from heat; stir in chopped chives, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with additional herbs.
