Equipment
- frying pan
Ingredients
- 2 cups Sugar Snap Peas
- 3 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 4 cloves Garlic finely sliced
- Salt and Pepper
- ½ whole Lemon garnish
Instructions
- Heat a medium frying pan over medium heat, then pour in the olive oil. Add the sugar snap peas to the pan, toss to coat.
- Sprinkle the salt and pepper and mix to combine. Let the snap peas cook for 5-7 minutes, with the option to cover for a few minutes to help with the steaming and searing.
- Finely slice garlic cloves and add to the pan with the sugar snap peas. Toss to evenly disperse the garlic around the pan.
- Continue to let cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the garlic is fragrant and the snap peas have softened slightly.
- Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon and thyme.
Notes
Add the snap peas to the olive oil first, then add in the garlic. I find that if I add garlic too early, it runs the risk of burning and overcooking. I like the garlic to be soft and fragrant, not overdone.
Cover the pan when cooking the snap peas to give them a chance to soften a little and steam. This won't take away the snap though!
