The spring peas are coming in! They are tender and delicious at this time of year. This is a really quick and easy side dish. I served it with a roasted chicken from the deli because I was lazy the other night but it would be great with most anything.
Just five ingredients in this quick dish: snow peas (snap peas would be delicious too), 1 baby leek (or 1/2 a small onion), 1 stalk green garlic (or 1 bulb garlic minced), sesame oil, honey. That’s it! The honey is optional but mine needed a little bit of a hint of sweetness to counter the sesame flavor. I used the leftovers the next day in some fresh thai spring rolls and they were great. Try it if you have any leftovers!
Ingredients:
- 1 pound snow or snap pea pods, trimmed
- 1 baby leek or 1/2 small onion, diced
- 1 stalk green garlic or 1 bulb garlic, minced
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp honey
Spray skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add leek, garlic, and pea pods to pan. Stir fry for 5 minutes or so until peas are tender-crisp but leek and garlic are cooked through. Drizzle with sesame oil and honey. Cook, stirring for another minute until combined.
First time hearing of “green garlic.” I’m always learning something new and that’s my reason for blogging.
