Yield Makes 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 lb sugar snap peas, trimmed
12 ears corn, shucked
1 cup heavy cream
2 bunches scallions (white and pale green parts only), thinly sliced
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Cook sugar snaps in 6 batches in an 8-quart pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 1 minute (return to a boil between batches). Transfer with a slotted spoon to a large bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking. Drain sugar snaps and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Cook corn in 2 batches in same pot of boiling water until just tender, about 3 minutes (return to a boil between batches). Transfer to bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking. Drain corn and pat dry with paper towels. Cut off kernels and discard cobs.
  • Just before serving, boil cream and scallions in a wide 6- to 8-quart heavy pot over high heat until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Add sugar snaps, corn, salt, and pepper and cook, tossing, until vegetables are coated and heated through, about 2 minutes.
