SUGAR SNAP PEAS AND ONIONS



Sugar Snap Peas and Onions image

I love sugar snap peas and I toss them into all kinds of dishes but this is a way to have them as a side dish. I think the Tarragon compliments them nicely.

Provided by MTpockets

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:

  • For the freshest sugar snap peas, choose pods that are bright green and crisp, with no signs of wilting or bruising.
  • If you don't have tarragon on hand, you can substitute another fresh herb, such as chives, basil, or mint.
  • Be careful not to overcook the sugar snap peas, as they will quickly become mushy. They should still have a slight crunch when you bite into them.
  • Serve the sugar snap peas immediately after cooking, while they are still hot and tender.

Conclusion:

Sugar snap peas with tarragon butter is a simple but flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The bright green pods are crisp and tender, and the tarragon butter adds a delicious savory flavor. This dish is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, making it a healthy choice for your next meal.
