Step 1
If using frozen corn or peas, thaw them by placing them in a bowl of warm water for 5 minutes. Drain thoroughly and set them aside.

Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Stir to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Step 6
Sauté the corn and peas for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and heated through.
