I have received a few requests for a really “simple” recipe; and this one is perfect!

Peas come in several different varieties, two of which are sugar snap peas and snow peas. Sugar snap peas have plump, round edible pods that are tender, soft, and easy to chew. Snow peas have translucent pods with peas inside. Their pods are also edible, but a little tougher than sugar snap peas. They contain a lot of fiber, are low in calories and easy to make. You can use them in a variety of different dishes, such as salads, an easy side dish or pasta.

This recipe is about as simple as it gets.  Do you have some garlic, onion, fresh lemon juice, salt and pepper in your pantry? If you do, then you are good to go!

Just be careful of the timing when you are cooking them. Take them off the heat when they are bright green to ensure you have crispy, beautiful snow peas.

They are absolutely delicious and I think you will enjoy every bite!

Ingredients for the Snow Peas

1 (10 ounce) package snow peas
1 small red onion, diced
3-4 gloves of garlic, minced
Juice of 1/2 lemon
3 tbsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. of pepper

Heat olive oil in large skillet on stove over medium heat. 

Add onions, cook until they are translucent, about 3-5 minutes.

Add garlic, cook for 1 minute.

Pour in lemon juice.

Scatter the snow peas into the skillet and toss to coat.

Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the snow peas turn bright green.

Perfect for any summer meal!

It’s that simple!
