Lemon Snap Peas

By jbrockel

Ingredients

• serves 3
• 2 tbsp. unsalted butter
• 12 oz. fresh sugar snap peas, de-stringed
• 1 tsp. lemon zest, freshly grated
• 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
• 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
• optional: 1 tsp. fresh thyme leaves, minced

Preparation

Step 1

Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the snap peas and toss to coat. Cook snap peas over medium-high heat for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the lemon zest, salt and pepper (and thyme, if you wish) and cook an additional 3-5 minutes, until the snap peas begin to puff up and are crisp, yet tender. Serve immediately.

Enjoy!
