Mint adds a fresh finish to this side dish, but fresh chopped thyme or oregano leaves will also pair well with the snap peas.

This was a great side. Used thyme as I didn't have mint and it was a nice herbal kick. Loved the chile. This is a great side for an otherwise mild entree (like simple grilled chicken or fish).
