Snap Peas With Sesame Oil

Recipe Ingredients

1 lb	454g / 16oz	Sugar snap or snow peas
		Salt
		Sesame oil
		Chopped parsley or cilantro

Recipe Instructions

CUT ACROSS THE STEM END of the peas and pull off the string that runs along the length of the pea. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add salt and the peas. Blanch until the peas turn bright green and are tender-crisp, after a minute or so. Taste to make sure--the time will depend on the type of pea and how mature it is.

Scoop them out with a strainer and shake off as much excess water as possible. Put them in a bowl and toss with just enough oil to lightly coat, a teaspoon or so. Add the parsley or cilantro and serve. For a variation, make the recipe using peanut oil or a fine olive oil tossed with basil rather than cilantro.
