Peas And Beans With Lemon Dressing


I made this recipe several years ago, and the family loved it. The next time i went to make it i had lost the recipe, and tried to make it by memory but it was never the same. I found it again today in one of my old cookbooks, and now i know why it never turned out the same, i had forgotten half the ingredients! So i am posting it here on zaar, just in case i loose it again.

Steps


Bring a large suacepan of salted water to the boil.
Cook the peas for 4 minutes.
Add the beans and cook for 2 more minutes.
Drain and keep warm.
Combine the oil , lemon juice , lemon rind , sugar , salt and pepper in a small saucepan.
Cook , stirring , over a low heat for 2 minutes.
Remove lemon mixture from the heat and stir through the mint.
To serve toss in the peas and beans with warm lemon dressing.
If using frozen peas then only simmer for 2 minutes before adding the beans.
