Hazelnut Free Buttered Peas
Simple sides are often the ones that steal the show, and these buttered peas are a perfect example. Bright green, glossy, and finished with a squeeze of lemon, they hit that sweet spot between effortless and genuinely delicious. Softened shallot cooked down in butter adds a subtle savory depth that makes the whole dish feel a little more special than your average weeknight vegetable. A handful of torn fresh mint at the end is optional but absolutely worth it if you have some on hand — it lifts everything and makes the peas taste almost garden-fresh. Every ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts of any kind, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress involved. This is the kind of clean, straightforward recipe you can pull together while the rest of dinner is finishing up, and it pairs beautifully with just about anything on the plate.
