Sugar Snap Peas With Yogurt Feta And Dill Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Remove and discard the stem end and string from each sugar snap pod.
• Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the sugar snap peas, salt and pepper and saute, tossing occasionally for 3 to 5 minutes, until the sugar snap peas are crisp tender.
• Place the sugar snap peas in a serving bowl, sprinkle with sea salt and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Spread sugar snap peas in a single layer on a medium baking sheet, and brush with olive oil. Sprinkle with shallots, thyme, and kosher salt.
• Bake 6 to 8 minutes in the preheated oven, until tender but firm.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Toss peas with olive oil on prepared baking sheet.
• Spread peas in a single layer.
• Broil approximately 2 minutes, or just until crisp-tender and they are beginning to brown in spots, stirring once.
• Remove from oven and transfer to a serving bowl.
• Sprinkle with coarse salt and chives.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Boil 3/4 pound sugar snap peas in salted water until crisp-tender and bright green, about 5 minutes; drain. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet. Add 1/2 sliced red onion, 1 tablespoon chopped dill and 1/2 teaspoon minced marjoram; cook until the onion softens, about 3 minutes. Add the snap peas and salt; toss.

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.

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.

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.

Steps:

• Cook sugar snaps in an 8-quart pot of boiling salted water for 2 minutes, then transfer 1 cup sugar snaps to a colander and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
• Transfer cooled sugar snaps to a cutting board.
• Cook sugar snaps remaining in pot until tender, about 2 1/2 minutes more, then transfer with a slotted spoon to a bowl.
• Measure out and save 1 cup cooking water, reserving remaining water in pot.
• Return cooking water in pot to a boil and cook pasta until al dente, then drain in colander.
• While pasta is cooking, cut 1 cup sugar snaps (on cutting board) crosswise into 1/2 inch pieces.
• Puree half of sugar snaps from bowl, half of garlic paste, 2 tablespoons oil, 1/4 cup cheese, and 1/4 cup saved cooking water in a blender, then force puree with a rubber spatula through a medium-mesh sieve into a large bowl.
• Puree another batch in same mannner, forcing through sieve into bowl, and add cut sugar snaps.
• Toss hot pasta with sugar snap sauce and, if necessary, enough of remaining 1/2 cup saved cooking water to thin sauce to desired consistency, then season pasta with salt and pepper.
