SUGAR SNAP PEAS WITH YOGURT, FETA AND DILL



Sugar Snap Peas With Yogurt, Feta and Dill image

Much of the appeal of sugar snap peas comes from their juicy, sweet crunch, which means you'll want to take care when blanching them. They turn from perfectly crisp-tender to soft in seconds. The key is to have a bowl of salted ice water next to the stove and a slotted spoon at the ready. The salt in the ice water seasons the peas, and the ice stops them from overcooking. In this savory salad, they're tossed with a garlicky dressing for brightness, and a creamy feta-yogurt sauce for richness. Serve them with crusty bread as a summery appetizer, or as a side dish for grilled fish or meats.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for water and to taste
1/2 pound sugar snap peas, trimmed (about 3 cups)
1 garlic clove, finely grated or minced
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 cup thinly sliced fennel, or use radish or cucumber
1/2 packed cup roughly chopped fresh dill, or use a combination of dill and fennel fronds
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1/3 cup plain whole-milk yogurt (if using Greek, thin it down with milk or water until pourable)
1/2 cup crumbled feta (about 2 ounces)
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Torn soft herbs, such as mint, basil, parsley, tarragon, chives, cilantro or a combination, for serving
Crusty bread, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Have ready a bowl of well-salted ice water and a slotted spoon next to the stove. Drop peas into boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, about 1 minute. Use the spoon to transfer peas to ice water to cool completely. Drain well and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
  • When cool enough to handle, put the peas on a cutting board and slice them in half, crosswise.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together garlic and lemon juice. Stir in salt and pepper. Whisk in 3 tablespoons olive oil. Add the halved peas, fennel, dill and scallions, and toss well. Taste and add more lemon juice, olive oil or salt if needed.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, 1/4 cup feta, lemon zest, and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Season with salt, pepper and lemon juice, to taste.
  • Spread the yogurt on a serving platter, and spoon the peas on top. Scatter remaining 1/4 cup feta on top, drizzle with more oil, and top with herbs. Serve as a side dish or scooped onto crusty bread as an appetizer.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before starting to cook, ensure all ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help streamline the cooking process and prevent scrambling during cooking.
  • Blanching the snap peas: Blanching the snap peas briefly in boiling water helps preserve their vibrant green color and crisp texture. Immediately transferring them to an ice bath stops the cooking process and prevents overcooking.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh tarragon and fennel fronds add a burst of flavor to this dish. Using fresh herbs, whenever possible, always enhances the overall taste.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing the snap peas and fennel, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from steaming instead of sautéing, resulting in a less flavorful dish.
  • Season to taste: Always taste the dish before serving and adjust the seasoning accordingly. This may include adding more salt, pepper, or a squeeze of lemon juice to balance the flavors.

Conclusion:

Fennel, sugar snap peas, and tarragon come together in this delightful side dish that is both elegant and easy to prepare.
