Sauteed Sugar Snap Peas
A sure sign of spring is when the sugar snap peas are ready to harvest. These crisp, sweet peas are a real treat! And because the pods are edible, there is no shelling!
When eating them fresh, I like to steam the pods for about 3 minutes and then season them with a little butter, salt and pepper. When I am feeling more industrious I make this recipe for sauteed red peppers, sugar snap peas and mushroom caps.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 1/2 red pepper
- 5 -6 medium to large mushroom caps, quartered
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 3/4 lb. sugar snap peas, trimmed
- 1 - 2 tsp. soy sauce
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the soy sauce, red peppers, mushrooms and garlic. Saute for about 2 minutes.
Add the trimmed peas and saute, stirring for about 2 to 5 minutes or until the peas are bright green and crisp tender. You may want to add a little more soy sauce at this point depending on your tastes. Season with salt and pepper.
