Here's a recipe Mark Bittman picked up on a road trip with his daughter across the United States, from the Black Market restaurant in Indianapolis. Kale and sugar snap peas combine with a dressing of ginger, miso and rice vinegar, with dried apricots and feta cheese, almonds and mint - a riot of flavors, and an excellent meal.

Categories     quick, salads and dressings, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 cup canola oil
1/2 cup peeled, chopped ginger
1/4 cup miso paste
1/2 cup rice vinegar, or as needed
Finely grated zest and juice of 2 lemons or limes
1/4 cup sugar, or as needed
Coarse salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons sugar
6 to 8 dried apricots
1 medium bunch kale (Tuscan, red Russian, Winterbor or lacinato), coarse stems removed and discarded, roughly chopped
2 cups sugar snap peas, stemmed
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup almonds, toasted and coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves, or as needed

Steps:

  • Make the dressing: In a blender or food processor, combine the oil, ginger, miso, 1/2 cup vinegar, lemon or lime zest and juice, and sugar. Process for about 30 seconds to form a creamy emulsion. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and add vinegar if needed.
  • Make the salad: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the sugar with 1/4 cup water. Add the dried apricots and poach just until rehydrated, 2 to 3 minutes, then remove from heat.
  • In a serving bowl, combine the kale, snap peas and feta. Add salad dressing to taste, and toss well. Sprinkle with almonds and garnish with poached apricots. Sprinkle with mint and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh sugar snap peas: Look for pods that are bright green and crisp, with no yellowing or wilting.
  • Trim the sugar snap peas: Remove the ends of the pods before cooking. You can also remove the strings from the peas if desired.
  • Toast the almonds: Toasting the almonds brings out their flavor and makes them more crunchy. You can toast them in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes.
  • Cook the sugar snap peas briefly: Sugar snap peas should be cooked briefly, just until they are tender-crisp. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Serve immediately: Sugar snap peas are best served immediately after cooking. They can be served as a side dish or added to salads, stir-fries, and other dishes.

Conclusion:

Sugar snap peas with toasted almonds is a quick and easy side dish that is perfect for summer. The peas are tender-crisp and flavorful, and the toasted almonds add a nice crunchy texture. This dish is also a good source of vitamins and minerals.
