SNOW PEAS WITH MINT AND PINE NUTS



Snow Peas with Mint and Pine Nuts image

As with other nuts, you may find a variety of pine nuts available in your local grocery store. Toasted, salted, dry-roasted, raw, and even seasoned varieties are available in markets today. Be sure to look for pine nuts that are raw or dry-roasted, which means they've been roasted without any added oils or fats. Though I normally prefer dry-roasted, here they'll toast in the pan, which will give the dish great flavor. To trim peas, just break off the stem end and strip the string away from the edge. It's a great project for the kids.

Yield makes 2 generous servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 pound snow peas or Chinese peas, trimmed and strings removed
1 tablespoon dry-roasted or raw pine nuts (sometimes called pignoli)
1 teaspoon freshly minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon toasted or roasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon chopped fresh mint leaves
Sea salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Place a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, peas, pine nuts, and garlic. Cook them, stirring occasionally, until the snow peas are crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes (do not overcook them or they will get mushy). Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the sesame oil and mint. Season with salt. Serve immediately.
