Sautéed Snow Peas (mangetout, pea pods) with Browned Shallots
Preparation and cooking time:
25 minutes
Another of those fleeting spring vegetables. They cook quickly and are more versatile than 'just for stir-fries'. If they are small, leave them whole. If they are large (2", 5cm) cut in half of thirds, at an angle.
Ingredients:
- snow peas - enough for two, 150gr, 5.3oz
- 2 shallots, 45gr, 1.6oz
- 2 tsp olive oil, 9gr, .32oz
- Salt and pepper
Instructions:
- Peel and slice shallots.
- Clean pea pods - snip off the stem end. Cut large pod into pieces, at an angle, if desired.
- Heat oil in nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until browned, reducing heat after 10 minutes, about 20 minutes total time.
- Add pea pods and sauté 5 minutes, depending on size, stirring frequently.
- Remove, add salt and pepper if using and serve..
