Yield Serves 6

1 pound sugar snap peas, trimmed
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan of boiling salted water blanch the snap peas for 1 minute, drain them, and plunge them into a bowl of ice and cold water to stop the cooking. Drain the peas well. The peas may be prepared up to this point 1 day in advanced and kept covered and chilled. In a large heavy skillet melt the butter with the zest, add the peas and salt and pepper to taste, and heat the peas over moderately low heat, stirring, until they are hot.

Tips:

  • To save time, you can buy pre-shelled sugar snap peas.
  • If you're using fresh lemon zest, be sure to use a microplane or fine grater to get the finest zest.
  • If you don't have fresh lemon juice, you can substitute bottled lemon juice. However, fresh lemon juice will give your dish a brighter flavor.
  • Be careful not to overcook the sugar snap peas. They should be cooked through but still have a slight crunch.
  • Lemon-scented sugar snap peas can be served as a side dish or appetizer. They're also a great addition to salads, stir-fries, and pasta dishes.
