Time 15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
¼ cup minced shallots
1 bunch thin asparagus spears, ends trimmed, cut into 1½-inch pieces on a diagonal
1 cup thawed frozen peas
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon honey

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, 4-5 minutes.
  • Add the asparagus, ¼ teaspoon salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Continue cooking over medium-low heat, stirring frequently so the shallots don't burn, for about 5 minutes or until tender-crisp. Add the peas and honey and cook about one minute more until the peas are warmed through. Add more salt and pepper to taste (I usually add about ⅛ teaspoon more salt and a few twists of pepper) and serve.

3 cloves garlic, chopped

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender asparagus and snap peas. Look for asparagus spears that are bright green and snap easily when bent. Snap peas should be plump and have a bright green color.
  • Trim the asparagus and snap peas. Asparagus spears should be trimmed at the bottom, where they are tough. Snap peas should be trimmed at the ends.
  • Blanch the asparagus and snap peas. Blanching is a quick cooking process that helps to preserve the color and flavor of the vegetables. To blanch the asparagus and snap peas, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and snap peas and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp. Immediately remove the vegetables from the boiling water and plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Sauté the asparagus and snap peas. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and olive oil. Once the butter is melted, add the asparagus and snap peas. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are heated through and slightly browned.
  • Season the asparagus and snap peas. Season the vegetables with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other seasonings, such as lemon juice, Parmesan cheese, or red pepper flakes.
  • Serve the asparagus and snap peas immediately. These vegetables are best served hot or warm.

Conclusion:

Sautéed asparagus and snap peas is a quick and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. This dish is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to please everyone at the table. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and healthy dish that the whole family will love.
