2 c Fresh or frozen green peas
2 tb Butter

1/2 c Chopped fresh scallions,
Including tender green parts
2 tb Finely chopped fresh basil,
Or 1 teaspoon dried

If using fresh peas, parboil and drain. If using frozen, boil to thaw and
drain.
Heat the butter in a large skillet and add the vermouth and scallions.
