Recipe: Garlicky Snow Peas

GARLICKY SNOW PEAS

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 green onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 large red bell pepper, cored, seeded and chopped
1 1/2 pounds fresh or frozen snow peas, trimmed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add green onions and garlic; saute until fragrant, 30 seconds.

Add red bell pepper; saute until slightly softened, about 2 minutes.

Add snow peas; saute until heated through but still crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add oil if necessary to prevent sticking.

Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. If not serving immediately, cover the skillet.

NOTE: The whole snow pea is edible - pod and pea. If buying fresh, choose brightly colored green, crisp pods with small peas inside.
