Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

30 snow peas
3 oz cream cheese softened
1 oz smoked salmon
1/8 tsp garlic salt
1 pinch pepper
1 pinch dill weed

Steps:

1. Split each pea pod down one seam, removing peas.
2. Thoroughly mix cream cheese, salmon, garlic salt and pepper.
3. Place cream cheese mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a star tip. Alternatively a zip-lock baggie with one corner snipped off can be used.
4. Pipe cream cheese into each pea pod, replace a few peas on top of the cream cheese, dust with small amount of dill weed.

Tips:

To easily remove the pea pods' strings, hold the pea pod in one hand and use your other hand to pull the string from the top to the bottom of the pod.
If you prefer a milder flavor, use less horseradish in the filling.
To make sure the pea pods are cooked evenly, try to choose pea pods that are similar in size.
For a more elegant presentation, use a piping bag to fill the pea pods with the salmon mixture.
Serve the pea pods immediately after they are cooked, while they are still warm and tender.

Smoked salmon stuffed pea pods are a delicious and elegant appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be prepared in advance, making them a great option for busy hosts.
