Ingredients

• 2 pounds fresh peas, shelled (about 2 cups shelled peas)

• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the peas and beans and cook until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain. Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
