Snow Pea Bundles

Snow Pea Bundles

 

1 pound fresh snow peas

3 to 4 fresh carrots, peeled

 

Trim stems from snow peas; remove strings. With a wide-bladed vegetable peeler,

cut ribbons of carrot (hold carrot at the large end; starting at the top, press

down and pull peeler the length of the carrot in one smooth motion, so ribbon

has an even thickness).

Prepare a lidded pot with a steaming basket and about 1 1/2 inches water. Bring

water to a boil.

Lightly steam snow peas a few minutes in covered basket until crisp-tender and

bright green. Drain; rinse with very cold water. Shake off excess water. Set

snow peas aside.

Briefly steam carrot ribbons until they are flexible and don't break when

curled. Drain; rinse with very cold water. Shake off excess water.

Stack 3 or 4 snow peas. Wrap around middle with carrot ribbon. Carrot should

adhere to itself (if not, use a dab of cream cheese as glue). Chill bundles in

covered container until ready to serve.

Yields about 20 bundles.
