- 1 large shallot, chopped
- 8 ounces whole pearl onions, peeled, or thawed frozen pearl onions
- 1/2 cup white wine

- Kosher salt
- cracked black pepper
- 20 leaves fresh mint, minced
- 1/4 cup small sprigs dill
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 10 ounces frozen baby peas

- Rinse mushrooms in a bowl of cold water, drain and spread on a towel until dry.
- If they are larger than bite size, halve or quarter them.
- In a braising pan or large, heavy skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil.

- Add pearl onions and cook for a minute, then deglaze pan with white wine.
- Add 2 cups water (one cup if using frozen onions) and the thyme, and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat, cover pan and simmer gently over low heat until onions are soft, 10 to 20 minutes if using fresh, 5 to 10 minutes if using frozen.
- Check occasionally and add a little water if needed.
- Season with kosher salt and pepper.
- When sauce has almost completely reduced, add mint, dill and scallions and stir for 30 seconds.

- Drizzle liberally with olive oil.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and squeeze lemon juice over top.
