Snow Peas with Lemon Oil

 

1 1/4 pounds, snow peas

2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon, lemon olive oil

1 1/2 teaspoons, poppy seeds, plus more for garnish

 

Wash the snow peas, and remove their tips, tails, and fibrous strings. Using a

sharp knife, cut each snow pea lengthwise into 3 thin slices, or, if you prefer,

leave them whole.

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Fit a steamer basket, and place the julienned

snow peas in the steamer. Cover tightly, and steam the snow peas over boiling

water for 7 to 8 minutes until just tender but still crunchy.

Transfer the cooked snow peas to a small bowl. Add the lemon olive oil, poppy

seeds, kosher salt to taste, and a generous grinding of black pepper. Toss well.

Sprinkle the snow peas with additional poppy seeds if desired and serve

immediately.

Makes 6 servings.
