How to Cook Snap Peas
Description
Cooking snap peas by sautéing in extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat allows the peas to soften slightly while maintaining their inherent crunch. The seasoning with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper enhances their natural sweetness and adds a mild savory contrast. Stirring occasionally for 3 to 5 minutes ensures even cooking and prevents burning.
This simple preparation makes the snap peas an ideal side dish that can be served immediately to preserve their texture and bright flavor. The minimal ingredients keep the peas as the focus, complementing a range of main courses without overpowering them.
Ingredients
- 1 pound sugar snap pea remove stem ends and strings, fresh
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 3/4 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the snap peas and stir to coat with oil. Add the salt and pepper. Saute for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the snap peas are tender but still crispy. Add more salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
