Ingredients
Before we begin, let’s gather all the ingredients you will need for this recipe:
- 1 pound of taccole (sugar snap peas)
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Now that we have everything ready, let’s proceed with the cooking process:
Step 1: Prep the Taccole
Start by rinsing the taccole thoroughly under cold water. Remove any strings or tough ends. Pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Set aside.
Step 2: Sauté the Garlic
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for a minute or until fragrant. Stir occasionally to prevent it from burning.
Step 3: Add the Taccole
Once the garlic is fragrant, add the prepared taccole to the pan. Toss them gently to coat them evenly with the oil and garlic. Make sure they are in a single layer, not overcrowding the pan.
Step 4: Season and Cook
Sprinkle salt and pepper over the taccole according to your taste preferences. Stir them occasionally and cook for about 5-6 minutes or until they turn bright green and reach your desired tenderness. Be careful not to overcook them as they should retain their crispiness.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Once the taccole are cooked to perfection, remove the pan from heat. Transfer them to a serving dish and they are ready to be enjoyed. Serve them as a side dish with your favorite main course or as a healthy snack.
