Baby Peas With Mustard Horseradish Butter Recipes

SUGAR SNAP PEAS WITH BROWN BUTTER, LEMON AND HORSERADISH

Steps:

• With a paring knife, remove the stems and peel the pod strings of the sugar snaps. Set aside.
• Using a peeler, remove the rough, outer skin of the horseradish. (Only remove the desired amount to be used, leaving the rest of the root intact.)
• In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add the butter. Gently swirl the butter and lightly agitate with a small whisk. Season with some black pepper. Once the milk solids begin to turn golden brown, after about 2 minutes, add the cleaned snap peas. Toss them twice in the pan, then add the lemon juice and season with salt.
• Transfer to a serving vessel. Using a hand-held grater, grate the peeled horseradish over the top.

HORSERADISH BUTTER

Steps:

• Pulse 1 stick softened butter in a food processor with 1/3 cup chopped chives, 3 tablespoons horseradish, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest until smooth. Scrape the butter onto plastic wrap or parchment, wrap and shape into a log. Chill until firm. Slice and serve over grilled steak.
• TIP: Try making other flavored butters with odds and ends from your fridge: capers, pickles, olives or even hot sauce.

BABY PEAS WITH MUSTARD HORSERADISH BUTTER

Steps:

• Cook peas with water and salt in a 2-quart saucepan, covered, over moderate heat, until tender, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mash together remaining ingredients and salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl. Drain peas in a colander and return to pan, then stir in butter mixture.

STEAK SANDWICHES WITH HORSERADISH MUSTARD BUTTER AND WATERCRESS

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Blend together butter, horseradish, mustard, shallot, and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl with a fork until combined well.
• Pat steak dry, season both sides well with salt and pepper, and put on rack of a broiler pan. Spread top of steak with 1 tablespoon mustard butter, then broil 2 to 3 inches from heat 5 minutes. Turn over and spread other side with 1 tablespoon mustard butter, then broil 4 to 5 minutes more for medium-rare. Transfer meat to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes. (Leave broiler on.)
• Cut baguette crosswise into 4 equal sections, then halve sections horizontally. Broil bread, cut sides up, about 3 inches from heat, rotating pan once, until golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Holding knife at a 45-degree angle, very thinly slice steak across the grain. Spread cut sides of bread with mustard butter and mound steak on half of bread. Top with watercress and remaining bread.

SUGAR SNAP PEAS WITH HORSERADISH

Steps:

• Combine stock and soy sauce in deep skillet over high heat and reduce to about 1/2 cup, 5 to 10 minutes. Add peas and stir frequently until they are bright green and tender and liquid is reduced to a glaze, about 5 minutes.
• Turn heat to medium and stir in butter and salt (easy at first, because of soy sauce) and pepper to taste. Put in warmed bowl, top with horseradish, and serve.
