Categories     Vegetables

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb snow pease, trimmed
2 1/2 c tiny pease, fresh or 10 oz. frozen
2 tsp butter
1-2 Tbsp fresh chives, chopped, you can sub fresh mint in place of chives
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Blanch peas in boiling salt water for no more than 1 minute. Drain and rinse under cold water.
  • 2. Melt butter in large skillet. Add peas; season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir over medium-high heat until hot about 1 to 2 minutes. Do NOT over cook.
  • 3. Put in serving bowl and sprinkle with either chives or mint.

Tips:

  • Select the freshest snow peas: Look for snow peas that are bright green and have a firm texture. Avoid any peas that are yellowed, wilted, or have brown spots.
  • Wash the snow peas thoroughly: Rinse the snow peas under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Trim the snow peas: Trim the ends of the snow peas to remove the stem and the tip.
  • Use unsalted butter: Unsalted butter allows you to control the amount of salt in the dish. If you only have salted butter, omit the additional salt called for in the recipe.
  • Cook the snow peas briefly: Snow peas should be cooked briefly to retain their crisp texture. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Season the snow peas to your taste: Add salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or a pinch of red pepper flakes.

Conclusion:

Buttered snow peas are a simple yet delicious side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner. They are a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
