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.

SNAP PEAS WITH DILL BUTTER



Snap Peas with Dill Butter image

This quintessential spring vegetable gets a touch of butter and herbs for a side dish that goes with any main.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 tablespoon butter
1 pound trimmed sugar snap peas (strings removed, if necessary)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh dill

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat butter over medium-low heat. Add sugar snap peas, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing frequently, until bright green and crisp-tender, 6 to 8 minutes; stir in dill.

Tips:

  • Choose tender snap peas. Look for snap peas that are bright green and have a firm texture. Avoid peas that are yellowed, bruised, or have blemishes.
  • Trim the snap peas. Remove the stem ends and any strings from the snap peas.
  • Cook the snap peas quickly. Snap peas are best when cooked quickly over high heat. This will help them retain their bright green color and crunchy texture.
  • Use fresh dill. Fresh dill is essential for this recipe. It adds a bright, herbaceous flavor that complements the snap peas perfectly.
  • Don't overcook the snap peas. Snap peas should be cooked until they are just tender-crisp. Overcooking will make them mushy.

Conclusion:

This simple yet flavorful recipe is a great way to enjoy snap peas. The dill butter adds a delicious richness that elevates the snap peas to a new level. Serve this dish as a side dish or as a light lunch or dinner.
