Balsamic-Braised Sugar Snap Peas

Recipe Ingredients

3 cups	594g / 20oz	Fresh sugar snap peas
1 1/2 tablespoons	22ml	Unsalted butter
		Coarse sea salt - to taste
2 teaspoons	10ml	Top-quality balsamic vinegar
		Freshly-ground white pepper - to taste
2 tablespoons	30ml	Chopped fresh chives

Recipe Instructions

Trim the sugar snaps, removing any tough strings. Rinse well in a colander and set aside.

Melt the butter over medium heat in a skillet just large enough to hold the peas. Add the peas, with water clinging to them, and stir or toss until completely coated with butter. Season well with salt and toss again. Add the vinegar and toss to coat.

Lower the heat, cover the pan and cook until the peas are just crunchy-tender, 2 to 3 minutes, depending on their age and size. Uncover the pan, season with pepper and toss with chives. Serve at once.
