SUGAR SNAP PEAS WITH YOGURT, FETA AND DILL
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.

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.

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.
