Caramelized Shallots And Snow Peas - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 stick unsalted butter
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 lb. shallots, peeled
3/4 lb. snow peas, stems and strings removed

Preparation

In a large skillet, melt the butter with sugar over medium heat.
Add the shallots; stir gently to coat them with the syrup and cook until the syrup is browned and the shallots are tender, about 20 minutes.
Fill a large stock pot 1/2 full of water and bring to a boil over high heat.
Add the snow peas in batches, blanching them briefly until bright green in color, about one minute, then immediately remove with a slotted spoon.
Serve hot along side the caramelized shallots.
