We've had a very mild spring this year, and I took a chance and put out some snow peas. About one year in five we are able to grow a few, as it usually turns off too hot and burns them up. But this year, they are lush, green and loaded with blooms. I picked the first batch yesterday, and here's how I fixed them (minus the ones I crunched straight out of the garden):
I picked through the peas and strung the larger ones, melted a couple tbls of butter in the saute pan, added the peas, a pinch of sugar and a tsp salt. I let them cook on med/high heat until they deepened in color, squeezed a little fresh lemon juice over the top, covered and turned down to a simmer for a few minutes. They were still crunchy, and so sweet and delicious!
I wish I could share them with y'all!
