Quick and Easy Snow Pea Recipe with Butter and Lemon
Snow peas are a crunchy and delicious vegetable. While they can be eaten raw, they take just minutes to cook, and this easy recipe is a fantastic way to prepare snow peas. The simple combination of butter and shredded lemon zest makes a brightly flavored side dish. Although optional, the sliced toasted almonds add a wonderful nutty crunch.


Unlike sugar snap peas, the peas in snow peas are tiny, making for flat pods and faster cooking, so you will have plenty of time to prepare the rest of dinner. These snow peas are excellent alongside shrimp, fish, or grilled chicken.

"Snow peas are a snap to make and can be ready to eat in minutes. Sauté them in butter for a luxurious mouthfeel. A bit of lemon zest adds a bright note, and the toasted almonds add just the right amount of crunch." —Diana Andrews
