Peas with Leeks

Total time: 15 minutes
    I try to keep prepared, canned and frozen food to a minimum, but some foods, like peas, I think are actually better frozen; as well as difficult to get fresh. The leeks add interest, mild onion flavor and color.

 Ingredients:

• 1 cup (8oz, 240gr) fresh or frozen peas
• 1/2 medium leek
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 2 tbs water
• 1 tsp butter

 Instructions:

• Trim leek, cut in half the long way and rinse thoroughly.  Slice half of leek (reserving other half or another use). 
• Heat oil over medium heat in small skillet or saucepan.  Add leek and sauté until tender, about 7 minutes. 
• Add peas, water, cover and simmer until peas are hot and tender, about 5 minutes longer. 
• Uncover and drain. 
• Toss with butter and serve.
