1/2 lb. sugar snap peas
1 pkg. snow peas
2 tsp. butter
1 tsp. olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp. turmeric
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. finely chopped fresh mint
1/8 tsp. salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Bring 2 cups water to boil in medium sized pan. Snap the ends off the snap and snow peas. Add the sugar snaps to the boiling water and time 30 seconds; add the snow peas and time 1 minute. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking completely. Pat dry with paper towels.

In a medium skillet heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute 1 minute. Add the turmeric and lemon juice; swirl to incorporate.

Add the peas, mint, salt and pepper. Stir for about 2 minutes to heat the peas through. Serve immediately. All snow peas may be used if snap peas are out of season.
