Peas and Mushrooms

An easy side dish that goes good with any meal. Peas, mushrooms, onions and garlic always goes well together and compliments each other.  You can add fewer peas and more mushrooms, or add some carrots for color.  You can use snow peas, baby peas or mature peas for a great tasting side dish.
