  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 sheet puff pastry (store-bought)
  • 2 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 tsp dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onions until translucent (about 5 minutes), then add garlic until fragrant.
