Sugar Snap Peas With Lemon Ricotta Mint And Parsley Recipes

SUGAR SNAP PEAS WITH PARSLEY

Steps:

• Place peas in pot and add 1 inch water. Add a little salt, a teaspoon of sugar and a couple of pats of butter to the pot. Bring water to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer. Cover and cook until peas are tender but still bright green, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat. Add chopped parsley. Transfer peas to a serving dish.

SUGAR SNAP PEAS WITH RICOTTA, MINT AND LEMON

Steps:

• 1. Line a fine-mesh sieve with cheesecloth or a clean dish towel and set over a bowl. Place ricotta in sieve and refrigerate overnight, until cheese loses much of its water content and thickens. 2. In a small bowl, whisk ricotta and 2 tablespoons oil until smooth. Season with kosher salt and pepper to taste. Continue to whisk until fluffy and creamy. Set aside. 3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch peas in boiling water until bright green, 30-40 seconds. Drain and transfer to a large bowl of salted ice water. Once peas are chilled, drain and spread out on a clean dish towel to dry. 4. Rinse large bowl and dry. Add peas, scallions, parsley, mint, ¼ teaspoon pepper, lemon juice and remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and stir to combine. 5. To serve, divide ricotta evenly among four plates and top each serving with ½ cup peas. Finish with a drizzle of oil and a sprinkle of sea salt.
