SAUTEED SUGAR SNAP PEAS

• Remove and discard the stem end and string from each sugar snap pod.

SUGAR SNAP PEAS WITH LEMON AND OLIVE OIL

• Pour lemon juice over peas, and drizzle with oil; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.

SUGAR SNAP PEA SALAD WITH LEMON AND DILL

Steps:

• Slice sugar snap peas on the diagonal into 1/2-inch pieces (about 2 1/2 cups). Add sunflower seeds, juice and zest of half the lemon, feta cheese, sunflower oil, and dill. Season with salt and black pepper. Toss to combine. Garnish with slices of lemon and additional feta.

SUGAR SNAP PEAS WITH LEMON BUTTER

Steps:

• In a large saucepan of boiling salted water blanch the snap peas for 1 minute, drain them, and plunge them into a bowl of ice and cold water to stop the cooking. Drain the peas well. The peas may be prepared up to this point 1 day in advanced and kept covered and chilled. In a large heavy skillet melt the butter with the zest, add the peas and salt and pepper to taste, and heat the peas over moderately low heat, stirring, until they are hot.

SUGAR SNAP PEAS WITH YOGURT, FETA AND DILL

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Have ready a bowl of well-salted ice water and a slotted spoon next to the stove. Drop peas into boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, about 1 minute. Use the spoon to transfer peas to ice water to cool completely. Drain well and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
• When cool enough to handle, put the peas on a cutting board and slice them in half, crosswise.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together garlic and lemon juice. Stir in salt and pepper. Whisk in 3 tablespoons olive oil. Add the halved peas, fennel, dill and scallions, and toss well. Taste and add more lemon juice, olive oil or salt if needed.
• In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, 1/4 cup feta, lemon zest, and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Season with salt, pepper and lemon juice, to taste.
• Spread the yogurt on a serving platter, and spoon the peas on top. Scatter remaining 1/4 cup feta on top, drizzle with more oil, and top with herbs. Serve as a side dish or scooped onto crusty bread as an appetizer.
