Summary:

An easy and pretty side dish that takes 15 minutes to make, start to finish.

4 side-dish servings

Ingredients:

  • 12 ounces snow peas
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth or stock, store-bought or homemade
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:

Trim the tips and stem ends from the snow peas. Stack a couple of peas at a time and, with a very sharp knife, cut them lengthwise into the thinnest possible julienne (very thin strips); this should yield about 4 cups. Discard the snow pea strings.

Combine the snow peas, chicken stock or broth, butter and salt in a medium saucepan. Cover, place over medium heat and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the snow peas are tender and glazed. Serve hot, with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.
