Ingredients
- 1 lb snap peas, (tough tips and strings pulled off)
- 1 bulb fennel, (sliced into ½ pieces)
- 4 tablespoon Butter, (divided)
- ½ teaspoon white peppercorns, (crushed, or ground white pepper)
- ½ teaspoon celery seed
- 2 tablespoon tarragon (chopped, or any fresh herbs on hand)
- sea salt (for serving)
Instructions
- Heat a large frying pan over medium heat, add the snap peas, fennel, white pepper, celery seed, some salt, and half of the butter and saute for 4-5 minutes or until the fennel softens, stirring frequently.
- Add about a ½ cup of water to the pan, and cook for another 4-5 minutes or until the water is mostly reduced. At this point the snap peas should still be bright green and tender with a slight crunch.
- Remove the pan from the stove and add the rest of the butter, and a good pinch of sea salt and stir through until the butter is completely melted. Remove the veggies to a serving dish and top with chopped tarragon or other herbs and salt if needed.
