Time 30m

Yield Serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest, plus 3 tablespoons fresh juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds carrots, peeled and cut on the bias into 1/4-inch-thick slices (4 1/2 cups)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
12 ounces sugar snap peas, trimmed if stringy, halved on the bias

Steps:

  • Whisk together mustard and lemon zest and juice. Season generously with salt and pepper and slowly whisk in oil.
  • Combine carrots, butter, 1/2 cup water, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a large straight-sided skillet or wide, shallow pot. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat to medium, and simmer 5 minutes. Uncover and cook, stirring occasionally, until carrots are just tender but holding their shape, 5 to 7 minutes more.
  • Stir in snap peas and continue cooking just until peas have turned crisp-tender and bright green, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and carefully drain any liquid remaining in skillet; toss with half of mustard dressing and season to taste. Serve, with remaining dressing on the side.
