Amount Ingredient
2 tsp olive oil
1/4 lb fresh sugar snap peas
(or two 10-oz packages thawed frozen sugar snap peas)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly-ground white pepper
1/3 cup coarsely-chopped fresh basil
1/2 tsp grated lemon zest
Instructions:
Instructions: Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Add the peas; season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry until the peas are crisp-tender, 3 minutes for fresh or 2 minutes for thawed frounceen sugar snaps.

Add the basil and lemon zest; stir-fry until the basil is wilted and fragrant. Serve immediately.

This recipe yields 4 servings.

Serving size: 3/4 cup.

Comments: Fresh basil and lemon add just the right touch to sweet sugar snap peas, resulting in a light dish that captures the taste of summer. Remove the strings on both sides of the pods if using fresh peas, but leave the pods whole. Be sure not to overcook the peas; you want them slightly crisp. Fresh sugar snaps are preferable, if they are available.
