How to Make It
Step
Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the carrots and shallots and cook over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until the carrots are just tender, about 8 minutes. Add the peas and cook, stirring, until heated through, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the mint and butter. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
