Thanksgiving Lemon-Pepper Peas and Onions Recipe

Surprisingly, I was unable to find this recipe on the internet, so wanted to note it down. It's a cheap, tasty side dish that has an interesting and different flavor from normal pea dishes.

Ingredients:
1 medium bag frozen peas
1 jar baby onions (these may be in the vegetable aisle, or may be near the alcohol)
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon pepper
2 Tablespoons salted butter

Take frozen peas and fry using only a few Tablespoons of butter. When peas are nearly ready (only a few minutes of cooking), add onions, lemon juice, pepper, and butter, and stir. Cook until peas are ready.

As with most Thanksgiving foods, these taste delicious when mixed in with mashed potatoes!
