Instructions
- Place frozen peas in a microwave-safe bowl with a well-fitting lid (or you can use microwave-safe plastic wrap with a few holes pierced.)
- Cook frozen peas in the microwave for 2 minutes, stirring once during cooking. Time is for a 1000W microwave, see notes to convert for other microwave power.
- Carefully remove the lid from the bowl, it is full of hot steam, which will all escape when the lid is removed.
- Serve peas hot, topped with butter. Enjoy!
