    Peel and finely chop the onion. Wash the lime thoroughly, grate the peel finely. Halve the lime and squeeze the juice. Wash the mint, shake dry, pluck the leaves from the stalks, put some leaves aside for garnishing, cut the remaining leaves into strips. Heat the oil in a pot and sauté the onion. Add peas, up to 1 teaspoon for garnishing, and mint strips, steam briefly. Add lime zest and lime juice, deglaze with stock, bring to the boil, simmer for about 4 minutes, then puree finely. Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar
