Sugar Snap Peas with Tarragon!

Hey Everyone,

I thought with all the wonderful peas and onions growing in the garden I would share a simple recipe that makes an excellent side dish.

Sugar Snap Peas with Tarragon!

I love peas!

Ingredients:

3/4 lb. sugar snap peas
1 Tbsp. chopped green onions
1 Tbsp. unsalted butter
2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon leaves
1/2 tsp. finely grated fresh lemon zest
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper

Preparation:

Wash, remove string, and cut sugar snap peas in half diagonally; set aside.

Over medium heat, saute green onions in butter until softened, about 1 minute.  Increase heat to medium-high, add sugar snap peas, and stir-fry. Cook 2 to 4 minutes until the sugar snap peas are crisp-tender.

In a separate bowl, combine the tarragon, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.  Add tarragon mixture to the peas, toss well, and serve immediately.

Makes 4 sides

This recipe lends itself quite well to fish and poultry dishes.  I have also substituted shallots for the green onions depending on what looks good in the garden.

Hope you enjoy,
