Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 pound sugar snap peas, strings discarded and peas halved diagonally
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon
1/2 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Blanch sugar snaps in a 4-quart pot of boiling salted water , uncovered, 1 minute. Drain in a colander. Immerse colander with sugar snaps in a large bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking, about 1 minute. Drain again well, then transfer to paper towels and pat dry.
  • Cook shallot in butter in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 1 minute. Increase heat to high, then add sugar snaps and sauté, stirring occasionally, until sugar snaps are crisp-tender, 2 to 4 minutes. Add tarragon, zest, salt, and pepper and toss until combined well.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more garlic or maybe some red pepper flakes. The peas were cooked perfectly though.

I'm not a huge fan of tarragon, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm glad I did! The tarragon flavor was very subtle and it paired well with the sweetness of the peas. The butter added a nice richness to the dish.
