Peas and Beans With Lemon Dressing

I made this recipe several years ago, and the family loved it. The next time I went to make it I had lost the recipe, and tried to make it by memory but it was never the same. I found it again today in one of my old cookbooks, and now I know why it never turned out the same, I had forgotten half the ingredients! So I am posting it here on zaar, just in case I loose it again.

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 1  cup fresh peas or 1  cup  frozen peas
• 330  g green beans, trimmed
• 1⁄4 cup olive oil
• 1  tablespoon lemon juice
• 3  teaspoons  finely grated lemon rind
• 1⁄2 teaspoon caster sugar
•  sea salt
•  cracked pepper
• 2  tablespoons  shredded mint

Directions

1. Bring a large suacepan of salted water to the boil. Cook the peas for 4 minutes (see note). Add the beans and cook for 2 more minutes.
2. Drain and keep warm.
3. Combine the oil, lemon juice, lemon rind, sugar, salt and pepper in a small saucepan. Cook, stirring, over a low heat for 2 minutes. Remove lemon mixture from the heat and stir through the mint.
