Mushy peas are a popular side dish in British cuisine, often served as an accompaniment to fish and chips or roasted meats. The creamy texture of the peas is achieved by cooking them until they are very soft and then blending them with butter and spices. This version of mushy peas adds fresh mint and green onions for an extra burst of flavor. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy side dish or a new way to incorporate more fiber and vegetables into your diet, mushy peas are a delicious and nutritious option.

Instructions

1.	In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and add chopped green onions and fresh mint to the pan.
2.	Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, until the onions are slightly translucent and fragrant.
3.	Add the thawed green peas to the skillet and stir until fully coated in the onion and mint mixture.
4.	Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the peas are warmed through.
5.	Remove the skillet from heat and add butter, salt, and pepper to taste.
6.	Using a blender or food processor, blend the pea mixture until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.
7.	Serve warm as a side dish or use as a base for other meals.
