Sugar Snap Peas And Prosciutto Recipes

SUGAR SNAP PEA SALAD WITH PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• To blanch the peas, bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil and set up a large bowl of well-salted ice water.

When the peas are cold, drain them and lay on paper towels to dry. Cut in half lengthwise and reserve.
• Coat a medium saute pan with olive oil and add the garlic and red pepper; bring the pan to medium heat and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.

• In a large bowl, combine the arugula, snap peas and onion along with the prosciutto and any juices from the pan; toss well. Add the pecorino and mint and taste it. Season with salt if needed and serve.
