Put the crushed garlic in a small bowl, stir through the juice of ½ lemon and set aside for 10 mins. Put the garlic-lemon juice mix, lemon zest, chopped sage, butter, and pepper to taste, in a food processor and blend thoroughly to make a bright green butter.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over low-medium heat until hot. Add the sliced shallots/onion and cook, stirring frequently, for 10 mins until well softened; add a splash of water if it starts to brown too quickly. Add the petits pois or peas, increase the heat to medium and cook for 6 more mins, until tender and piping hot all the way through. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve the hot peas with the sage garlic butter dotted over.

Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave at full power for 1-2 minutes, until piping hot all the way through.
