Minted peas under oil

This is a fantastic way of cooking peas. In Italy it's known as sott'olio, which literally means 'under oil', and generally, when served in this way, they will be cool or at room temperature, as it's a summer dish. You may think I'm being over-generous with the amount of oil, but just go with me!
