Categories     Side Dishes

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 bacon strips (I used a low-salt thin-cut pork bacon)
1 lb. fresh sugar snap peas, stem ends and strings removed
½ cup (2 oz) red onions, finely diced
1 oz. parmesan cheese (parmigiano reggiano), shaved
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
¼ tsp black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large cold frying pan, lay out the bacon strips without overlapping. Turn on the heat to medium and cook the bacon, flipping occasionally (using tongs) until golden-brown and crisp, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from the pan and place the bacon onto a paper-towel lined plate. Set aside.
  • Pour the excess bacon grease from the pan into a heat safe container for disposal, leaving a thin layer of oil behind. Set the stovetop temperature to medium-high heat and add the snap peas into the frying pan.
  • Sauté the snap peas until tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining ingredients (red onions, parmesan, lemon juice, and black pepper).
  • Place into a serving dish and top with chopped or crumbled bacon. Best served immediately.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, cut into thin wedges
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon or 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh tarragon leaves, chopped
salt and pepper
1 (6 ounce) package frozen sugar snap peas

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a medium saucepan and add onion.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened but not transparent (about 2-3 minutes).
  • Add remaining ingredients (EXCEPT PEA PODS) and bring mixture to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to a medium heat and add Pea pods.
  • Cook until vegetables are tender (about 1-2 minutes) and heated through or to desired crispness.
  • NOTE: If you remove pea pods from freezer before you get started and let them sit on counter in package, they will defrost just a little and cooking time may shorten slightly.

Tips:

  • Choose the right snap peas: Look for bright green, crisp sugar snap peas that snap easily when you bend them. Avoid peas that are limp or have brown spots.
  • Prepare the snap peas: Remove the tough strings from the sides of the snap peas before cooking. You can do this by pinching the stem end of the pea and pulling the string down the side.
  • Cook the snap peas briefly: Sugar snap peas are best when cooked briefly, just until they are tender-crisp. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Add flavorings: Sugar snap peas pair well with a variety of flavors, such as garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil. You can also add bacon, ham, or other meats for a more savory dish.
  • Serve immediately: Sugar snap peas are best served immediately after cooking. They can be enjoyed as a side dish or added to salads, stir-fries, and other dishes.

Conclusion:

Sugar snap peas are a delicious and versatile vegetable that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. With their sweet flavor and crisp texture, they are a perfect addition to any meal. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy side dish or a more elaborate main course, there is a sugar snap pea recipe out there for you.
