Snap Peas With Dill Butter Food

GARLIC BUTTER SUGAR SNAP PEAS

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
• Add the snap peas, garlic, salt, and pepper. Let the snap peas cook for 5 minutes, stirring a few times.

FETTUCCINE WITH SALMON AND SNAP PEAS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs, adding the snap peas during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water, then drain.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add the salmon; season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, turning once, until the salmon is just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Add the pasta and snap peas to the skillet along with 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta cooking water, the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, the herbs and lemon juice. Cook, tossing and adding more of the reserved cooking water if necessary, until the pasta is coated, about 1 more minute. Season with salt and pepper. Top with the salmon.

SNAP PEAS WITH DILL BUTTER

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat butter over medium-low heat. Add sugar snap peas, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing frequently, until bright green and crisp-tender, 6 to 8 minutes; stir in dill.

BUTTERED SNAP PEAS

Steps:

• Cook 1 1/4 pounds sugar snap peas in boiling water until bright green, about 3 minutes; drain. Cook 1 minced shallot in a skillet with 2 tablespoons butter until soft, about 3 minutes. Whisk in a splash of water, then add the peas and cook 2 to 3 minutes. Add chopped tarragon and parsley, and salt and pepper.

SAUTEED RADISHES AND SUGAR SNAP PEAS WITH DILL

Steps:

• This side dish would pair beautifully with roast lamb or salmon. To remove strings from fresh peas, just snap off the stem end and pull string lengthwise down each pod. Melt butter with oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until golden, about 5 minutes. Add sugar snap peas and radishes; sauté until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add orange juice and dill seeds; stir 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in chopped dill. Transfer to bowl; serve.

SUGAR SNAP PEAS WITH BROWN BUTTER, LEMON AND HORSERADISH

Steps:

• With a paring knife, remove the stems and peel the pod strings of the sugar snaps. Set aside.
• Using a peeler, remove the rough, outer skin of the horseradish. (Only remove the desired amount to be used, leaving the rest of the root intact.)
• In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add the butter. Gently swirl the butter and lightly agitate with a small whisk. Season with some black pepper. Once the milk solids begin to turn golden brown, after about 2 minutes, add the cleaned snap peas. Toss them twice in the pan, then add the lemon juice and season with salt.
• Transfer to a serving vessel. Using a hand-held grater, grate the peeled horseradish over the top.

SUGAR SNAP PEA SALAD WITH LEMON AND DILL

Steps:

• Slice sugar snap peas on the diagonal into 1/2-inch pieces (about 2 1/2 cups). Add sunflower seeds, juice and zest of half the lemon, feta cheese, sunflower oil, and dill. Season with salt and black pepper. Toss to combine. Garnish with slices of lemon and additional feta.

SUGAR SNAP PEAS WITH YOGURT, FETA AND DILL

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Have ready a bowl of well-salted ice water and a slotted spoon next to the stove. Drop peas into boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, about 1 minute. Use the spoon to transfer peas to ice water to cool completely. Drain well and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
• When cool enough to handle, put the peas on a cutting board and slice them in half, crosswise.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together garlic and lemon juice. Stir in salt and pepper. Whisk in 3 tablespoons olive oil. Add the halved peas, fennel, dill and scallions, and toss well. Taste and add more lemon juice, olive oil or salt if needed.
• In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, 1/4 cup feta, lemon zest, and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Season with salt, pepper and lemon juice, to taste.
• Spread the yogurt on a serving platter, and spoon the peas on top. Scatter remaining 1/4 cup feta on top, drizzle with more oil, and top with herbs. Serve as a side dish or scooped onto crusty bread as an appetizer.
