Sugar Snap Peas With Parsley Recipes

SUGAR SNAP PEAS WITH SESAME

Steps:

• Pick through the sugar snap peas to remove any that aren't perfect. Remove and discard the stem end and the string from each pod. Toss the snap peas in a bowl with sesame oil, sesame seeds, and kosher salt, to taste. Serve at room temperature.

SUGAR SNAP PEAS AND POTATOES WITH PARSLEY PESTO

Steps:

• Pulse parsley with cheese, pine nuts, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper in a food processor until finely chopped. With motor running, add 1/2 cup oil in a slow stream, blending until incorporated and almost smooth.
• Cover potatoes with water in a medium pot and season well with salt, then boil until tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain in a colander.
• Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a wide medium pot over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Sauté sugar snaps until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and add potatoes and pesto, stirring gently to coat. Transfer to a serving dish to cool quickly (so pesto doesn't separate).

SUGAR SNAP PEA SALAD WITH SHERRY VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• In a large bowl whisk together shallots, vinegar, oil, and salt and pepper to taste.(Vinaigrette may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.)
• In a large saucepan of boiling salted water cook snap peas until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain snap peas in a colander and transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. Drain snap peas well.(Snap peas may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.)
• Add snap peas to vinaigrette with basil and parsley, tossing to combine well. Line a platter or salad bowl with lettuce and mound with salad.
