Categories     Side Dishes

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 bacon strips (I used a low-salt thin-cut pork bacon)
1 lb. fresh sugar snap peas, stem ends and strings removed
½ cup (2 oz) red onions, finely diced
1 oz. parmesan cheese (parmigiano reggiano), shaved
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
¼ tsp black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large cold frying pan, lay out the bacon strips without overlapping. Turn on the heat to medium and cook the bacon, flipping occasionally (using tongs) until golden-brown and crisp, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from the pan and place the bacon onto a paper-towel lined plate. Set aside.
  • Pour the excess bacon grease from the pan into a heat safe container for disposal, leaving a thin layer of oil behind. Set the stovetop temperature to medium-high heat and add the snap peas into the frying pan.
  • Sauté the snap peas until tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining ingredients (red onions, parmesan, lemon juice, and black pepper).
  • Place into a serving dish and top with chopped or crumbled bacon. Best served immediately.

Categories     Garlic     Side     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Bacon     Pea     Spring     Bon Appétit     Kidney Friendly     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

7 bacon slices, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
2 10-ounce packages frozen peas, thawed
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
Chopped Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Sauté bacon in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat until brown and crisp. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels and drain. Discard all but 2 tablespoons drippings from skillet. Add garlic to skillet; sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add peas and butter to skillet. Saut until heated through, about 5 minutes. Mix in bacon; season with salt and pepper. Transfer to dish; sprinkle with parsley.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and tender snap peas: Look for snap peas that are bright green and have no blemishes. The pods should snap easily when you bend them.
  • Prep the snap peas properly: Remove the strings from the snap peas before cooking. You can do this by using a paring knife to make a shallow incision along the length of the pod and then pulling the string out.
  • Cook the snap peas quickly: Snap peas should be cooked quickly over high heat to preserve their crisp texture. Stir-frying, sautéing, or blanching are all good methods for cooking snap peas.
  • Use high-quality bacon: The quality of the bacon you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Look for thick-cut, smoked bacon that is not too salty.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the bacon and snap peas, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the ingredients from cooking evenly.
  • Season to taste: Season the snap peas with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
