Categories     main-dish

Time 15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups sugar snap peas, ends snapped off
8 ounces fusilli (corkscrew pasta)
1 green onion, cut on bias, in quill like shapes
1/2 cup of a mustard vinaigrette
1/2 pound smoked salmon cut into thin julienne
1/2 cup, packed fresh parsley leaves, minced
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. While this is coming to a boil prepare the remaining ingredients. When the water comes to a boil, add sugar snap peas and cook for about a minute or until crisp tender. Retrieve them from water with a sieve and run under cold water to stop the cooking. Pat dry and set aside. Add pasta to water and cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. When pasta is done, drain and refresh under cold water. Pat dry. Combine in a bowl with green onion, mustard vinaigrette, smoked salmon and parsley. Season well to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest Maui-style smoked salmon or lox available, as its flavor and texture will greatly impact the dish.
  • Select small, tender pea pods with vibrant green color and avoid fibrous or overgrown ones.
  • Use a sharp knife to make precise and clean cuts when preparing the pea pods and smoked salmon.
  • Work carefully with the pea pods to prevent tearing or breaking, as this will affect the final presentation.
  • Don't overpack the pea pods with the smoked salmon and cream cheese filling to prevent them from bursting.
  • Chill the stuffed pea pods before serving to allow the flavors to meld and for a more refreshing taste.
  • Experiment with different dipping sauces or garnishes such as herbs, citrus zest, or sesame seeds to add extra flavors and textures.
