SESAME SNOW PEAS

Posted by Carole-Anne on September 25, 2007

Snow peas have the lowest carbohydrate count of all peas and they are high in pectin and other fiber as well.  Snow peas are a good source of Vitamins A and C.   Peas provide a whole protein when served with a whole grain.  Needless to say,  they are very low in calories.

Very brief cooking keeps them bright green and keeps that crunch you will want.  Healthy Recipes recommends these highly.

INGREDIENTS: 

1/2 lb snow peas, trimmed and strings pulled off

1 tsp sesame oil

1 tsp Kikkoman soy sauce

2 green onions, thinly sliced

1 tsp sesame seeds, lightly toasted

FOLLOW ME:

1.  Cut snow peas on diagonal into long thin slices.

2.  Blanch snow peas 30 seconds in large pot of lightly salted water.  Drain snow peas in colander. Rinse under cold water and drain well. Transfer blanched and rinsed snow peas to fancy 2″ high dish.

Voila – you are now ready to serve.
