Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 lemon, cut into thin slices
2 1/2 cups sugar snap peas
1 leek, sliced
1 tablespoon snipped fresh dill (optional)
salt & fresh ground pepper

Steps:

In a large skillet heat oil over medium-high heat add lemon slices; cook 4 minutes, turning once.

Tips:

Choose the freshest sugar snap peas you can find. Look for pods that are bright green and plump, with no signs of bruising or wilting.
Trim the sugar snap peas before cooking. Remove the tough ends from the pods and any strings that may be running along the sides.
Blanch the sugar snap peas before stir-frying. This will help to preserve their bright green color and crisp texture.
Use a large skillet or wok for stir-frying. This will allow the ingredients to cook evenly.
Heat the skillet or wok over high heat before adding the oil. This will help to prevent the ingredients from sticking.
Add the sugar snap peas to the skillet or wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
Add the sauce of your choice and stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce is heated through.
Serve the sugar snap pea stir-fry immediately with rice, noodles, or your favorite side dish.
