Question:

I have a half pound of snow peas, what can I make with them?

I have no clue, so any ideas would be appreciated!


Answers:

* Treat the first snow peas of the season as a real delicacy, steam the pods and serve as you would asparagus, with a little melted butter or a drizzle of olive oil.
* To serve as an accompaniment, boil the prepared snow peas for 5-6 minutes until just tender. They are best eaten with light dishes, like chicken or fish, so that their flavour isn’t swamped.
* Raw snow peas are lovely as a crudite, served with hummus or guacamole.
* Stir fry snow peas on their own as a side dish, or make a meal by adding other vegetables such as baby sweetcorn or mushrooms, or with tofu or chicken, in a stir fry. Make sure the pods are dry before you add them to the hot pan, otherwise they will spit. Toss in a sprinkling of sesame seeds to serve.
* Use snow peas raw in green salads of leaves and herbs.
* Mange-tout are good for adding colour to mixed salads. They also work with well with fresh, fruity flavours, so try them as part of a salad with sliced grapefruit, or pineapple.
* This isn't exactly one of the snow pea recipes, but it's a brilliant idea nonetheless - add a handful of mange-tout to children's lunch boxes. They love the sweet crunchiness, and it all helps towards making sure they get their five a day.
