Here’s a simple and tasty way to serve up sugar snap peas as a quick side dish
Rinse one pound of sugar snap peas & remove the end and fibrous string from each of the pods
This is a great job for a little sous chef if you have one available
Our daughter, Marin, is usually recruited for jobs such as these
Melt 1/2 teaspoon of butter in a pan heated to medium-high and sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes
Mix the pepper flakes around for barely one minute. You want to release the aromatics, not scorch them
Add in your prepared sugar snap peas and toss to coat with the butter and pepper flakes
Since you’re cooking these on such a high heat, don’t wander away
You want them to blister a bit to add that delicious flavor but to still stay crisp
Cook for 6 to 8 minutes or until you see a little char on both sides of each pod and squeeze in some fresh lemon, about 1 tablespoon
Toss well and season to taste with kosher salt and black pepper
Serve along side your favorite meal!
Enjoy!!
