Pui cu mazare si menta (Chicken with peas and mint)

Scroll down for English recipe

Astept primavara. Am obosit sa indur iarna, zapada, frigul, bocancii... M-am gandit ca niste mazare verde ar fi tocmai buna ca sa aduca un damf de primavara. De data asta am facut ceva mai deosebit: Am pus niste menta. Ii multumesc lui Mary pentru aceasta idee.

Ingrediente pentru 4 portii:

• 400 g piept de pui, taiat cuburi mai mari
• 500 g mazare verde, congelata
• 2 cepe mari, tocate
• 3 linguri ulei de porumb
• 1 lingurita menta uscata sau 2 lingurite menta proaspata
• 200 ml apa
• 50 ml vin alb
• sare, piper dupa gust

Cum se face:

• Incalzeste uleiul intr-o cratita. Pune carnea si prajeste-o putin pe toate partile.
• Adauga ceapa, Amesteca

• Lasa 3-4 minute la foc mediu, ca sa se inmoaie ceapa.
• Adauga mazarea congelata si amesteca putin

• Pune sare, piper, menta uscata (daca folosesti proaspata, se pune la sfarsit) si apa. Pune capacul si fierbe la foc mic 15 minute.
• Adauga vinul si mai fierbe 5 minute. Daca folosesti menta proaspata, pune-o acum
• Potriveste de sare si piper.

• Serveste mancarea calda, cu salata de castraveti in saramura.
