Ingredients

450g snow peas
salt
2 tbsp butter
shredded, or grated zest of 1 lemon
¼ to ½ cup slivered or sliced almonds, optional
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

Top and tail snow peas and remove the strings, rinse well.

Fill a medium saucepan with about 1 ½ litre of water and 2 tsp of salt and bring to the boil over high heat.

Add the snow peas and then bring water back to the boil. Boil the peas for 30 – 45 seconds, don’t overcook them as they will lose their fabulous crunch.

Drain the peas in a colander and wipe the pan out.

Add the butter to the pan and place it over medium heat. When the butter begins to sizzle, add the drained snow peas. Saute the pea pods in the butter, stirring for about 1 minute. Add the lemon and almonds and continue cooking for 1 minute.

Enjoy!
