Sugar Snap Peas With Pine Nuts And Garlic - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 teaspoon salt
1 lb sugar snap pea, stems snapped off and strings removed, if necessary (about 4 cups)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup pine nuts
1 garlic clove, minced
ground black pepper

Preparation

Bring 6 cups of water to a boil in a large saucepan.
Add the salt and peas and cook until crisp-tender, 1.5 to 2 minutes.
Drain the peas, shock them in ice water, and drain again.
Dry the peas well on a rimmed baking sheet lined with paper towels.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat until almost smoking.
Add the pine nuts and cook, stirring frequently, until they are lightly golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds.
Add the peas and cook, stirring frequently, until the peas are heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.
Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
