Sunny Snow Peas Recipes

GLAZED SNOW PEAS

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 8 ounces snow peas, 1 bunch chopped scallions, a pinch of sugar and 1/4 cup water. Cover and simmer 2 minutes, then uncover and boil until the water evaporates, 2 more minutes. Season with salt.

SUNNY'S 5-INGREDIENT LEMON AND CHEESE PEAS

Steps:

• In a pan on medium-low heat, add the olive oil (or butter), garlic and lemon zest. Cook, stirring, so the garlic and zest can steep without browning, about 5 minutes. Add the lemon juice, thyme, a pinch of salt and a few more grinds of black pepper than you normally would. Move the contents of the pan around a bit more while cooking, until the thyme is darker in color and the pan is fragrant, about 5 more minutes.
• Add the peas and toss to warm and coat, about 4 minutes. Pour into a serving dish and top with the cheese.

SPICY WOK-CHARRED SNOW PEAS

Steps:

• Put vegetable oil in a wok over high heat. When oil looks wavy, add chiles and let sizzle for a few seconds.
• Add snow peas and scallions and season well with salt and pepper. Cook vegetables over high heat, stirring constantly, until cooked through and lightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes. Peas should be bright green and crisp-tender.
• Add garlic, ginger and sesame oil, toss well and cook 1 minute more. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with peanuts and cilantro.

MEDITERRANEAN SNOW PEAS
