Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound sugar snap peas (can substitute with snow peas or green beans)
1 small piece fresh horseradish (no more than 1 inch needed)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Juice from 1/2 lemon

Steps:

Once the milk solids begin to turn golden brown, after about 2 minutes, add the cleaned snap peas. Toss them twice in the pan, then add the lemon juice and season with salt.

Time 20m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup (8 tablespoons) olive oil or salted butter

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cups fresh spring, English or snow peas
8 to 12 ounces shaved or grated Pecorino-Romano cheese

Steps:

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1/2 pound snow peas, trimmed
2 teaspoons minced shallot
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Melt butter in medium skillet over medium heat. Add almonds and cook until golden and fragrant and butter begins to brown, stirring frequently, about 11/2 minutes. Add snow peas and shallot; sauté until snow peas are crisp-tender, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat; add lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and serve.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before starting, prepare all of the ingredients and utensils you will need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Choose Fresh Snow Peas: Select vibrant green snow peas that are crisp and tender. Avoid any pods that are wilted, yellowed, or have blemishes.
  • Trim the Snow Peas: Remove the stem ends and strings from the snow peas. This will make them easier to eat and will help them cook evenly.
  • Use Unsalted Butter: Unsalted butter allows you to control the amount of salt in the dish. If you use salted butter, taste the sauce before adding additional salt.
  • Grate the Lemon Zest: Use a fine grater to zest the lemon. This will release the flavorful oils from the peel.
  • Add Lemon Juice Gradually: Start with a small amount of lemon juice and add more to taste. This will help you achieve the desired balance of flavors.
  • Cook the Snow Peas Briefly: Snow peas cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked snow peas will lose their crisp texture and vibrant color.
  • Serve Immediately: Lemon Butter Snow Peas are best served immediately after cooking. This will ensure that they are at their peak flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Lemon Butter Snow Peas is a simple yet elegant dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. The tender-crisp snow peas are coated in a flavorful sauce made with lemon, butter, and garlic. This dish is a great way to enjoy the fresh flavors of spring and is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
