SUGAR SNAP PEAS WITH PINE NUTS AND GARLIC
Recently, my area experienced a blizzard that knocked out power for almost a full day. While I had my gas stove for cooking, I didn't have access to the internet to search for recipes. I had to resort to sifting through my cookbooks. I found this method for preparing sugar snap peas in the Perfect Vegetable cookbook by Cook's Illustrated. The veggies are crisp and bright with the depth and earthiness of the pine nuts and garlic. Great side dish.

Steps:
- Pulse parsley with cheese, pine nuts, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper in a food processor until finely chopped. With motor running, add 1/2 cup oil in a slow stream, blending until incorporated and almost smooth.
- Cover potatoes with water in a medium pot and season well with salt, then boil until tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain in a colander.
- Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a wide medium pot over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Sauté sugar snaps until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and add potatoes and pesto, stirring gently to coat. Transfer to a serving dish to cool quickly (so pesto doesn't separate).
Tips:
- To ensure the sugar snap peas remain crisp and vibrant, blanch them in boiling water for about 45 seconds before transferring them to an ice bath and then drain thoroughly.
- For a more pronounced nutty flavor, toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until they become fragrant and slightly browned, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes based on your personal preference for spiciness.
- For a vegetarian or vegan variation, substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth in the sauce.
- Serve the sugar snap peas with pine nuts as a side dish or as a light lunch or dinner option.
