BUTTERED SUGAR SNAP PEAS

SERVES 4

What I really like about sugar snap peas, other than the sweet flavor and crispy texture, is that there is no prep as in regular green peas. You eat the whole pod and it is yummy. Peas used to be available only in spring but can now be found all year long in most grocery stores.

INGREDIENTS

1 pound sugar snap peas, rinsed and drained

2 cups water

2 teaspoons granulated sugar

Salt and pepper to taste

3 tablespoons butter

Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the sugar, salt and peas. Cover, reduce heat to medium and cook just until the peas are just tender, 5 to 10 minutes depending on size. Drain well. Add the butter, more salt and pepper. Stir well until the butter has melted. Serve immediately.
