STUFFED SNOW PEAS
These hors d'oeuvres are so elegant for bridal or baby showers. I always make them ahead. You can season the cream cheese with anything you like. I sometimes make them with plain cream cheese. They are time consuming- but worth it because the presentation is beautiful. Did I mention they taste great too? From the wonderful book 'Showers' by Beverly Clark.

Tips:
- Prep the Snow Peas: Before you start stuffing, make sure to wash and trim the snow peas, removing the strings from the sides.
- Blanch the Snow Peas (Optional): Blanching the snow peas in boiling water for a minute or two helps soften them slightly, making them easier to work with and preventing them from becoming tough when cooked.
- Use a Variety of Fillings: Don't limit yourself to just one type of filling. Experiment with different ingredients like minced meat, seafood, vegetables, or cheese.
- Season the Filling Generously: Don't be afraid to add plenty of flavor to your filling. Use a combination of herbs, spices, and sauces to create a delicious and savory mixture.
- Stuff the Snow Peas Carefully: Use a small spoon or your fingers to gently stuff the filling into the snow peas, taking care not to tear them.
- Secure the Snow Peas: Once stuffed, use a toothpick or skewer to secure the snow peas, preventing the filling from falling out during cooking.
- Cook the Snow Peas Properly: Depending on the filling, you can steam, stir-fry, or bake the stuffed snow peas until they are cooked through and the filling is heated.
