Looking for a simple and healthy side dish? Boiled sugar snap peas are a delicious and nutritious option to complement any meal. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you prepare this quick and easy dish.

What You’ll Need:

  • 1 pound of fresh sugar snap peas
  • 4 cups of water
  • Salt (to taste)

Step 1: Prepare the Sugar Snap Peas

Start by rinsing the sugar snap peas under cold running water. Make sure to remove any stems or strings that may still be attached to the pods.

Step 2: Blanch the Sugar Snap Peas

In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil. Add a generous pinch of salt to the boiling water.

Once the water is boiling, carefully add the prepared sugar snap peas and let them cook for about 2-3 minutes. Be cautious not to overcook them, as the peas should remain crisp and vibrant green.

Step 3: Drain and Shock

Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove the sugar snap peas from the boiling water and immediately transfer them to a bowl filled with ice water. This process, known as shocking, stops the cooking process and helps the peas retain their color and crunch.

Let the sugar snap peas sit in the ice water for a minute or two before draining them.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Once drained, your boiled sugar snap peas are ready to be served. You can enjoy them as they are or sprinkle them with a dash of salt, pepper, or any other seasoning of your choice.

These peas make a fantastic side dish for various main courses and pair well with grilled meats, seafood, or even vegetarian options like tofu stir-fry. The options are endless!

So next time you’re looking for a hassle-free and healthy side dish option, give boiled sugar snap peas a try. You won’t be disappointed!
