Snow Pea Bundles Recipe - Cooking Index
| 1 lb | 454g / 16oz | Fresh snow peas - see * Note |
| 3 | Fresh carrots - (to 4) - peeled |
* Note: If snow peas are unavailable, substitute sugar snap peas. Use 1 snap pea for each bundle.
Trim stems from snow peas; remove strings. With a wide-bladed vegetable peeler, cut ribbons of carrot (hold carrot at the large end; starting at the top, press down and pull peeler the length of the carrot in one smooth motion, so ribbon has an even thickness).
Prepare a lidded pot with a steaming basket and about 1 1/2 inches water. Bring water to a boil.
Lightly steam snow peas a few minutes in covered basket until crisp-tender and bright green. Drain; rinse with very cold water. Shake off excess water. Set snow peas aside.
Briefly steam carrot ribbons until they are flexible and don't break when curled. Drain; rinse with very cold water. Shake off excess water.
Stack 3 or 4 snow peas. Wrap around middle with carrot ribbon. Carrot should adhere to itself (if not, use a dab of cream cheese as glue). Chill bundles in covered container until ready to serve.
Yield: About 20 bundles.
