Fry the onions in a large saucepan in olive oil on a medium to low heat and season with salt and pepper.
Once the onions are translucent (after around 5 minutes) add the garlic and fry for a couple of minutes.
Then add the frozen peas, soaked cashews and butter beans.
Stir together to combine before adding the stock and the fresh mint before reducing heat to a low simmer. Cook for 15 minutes.
