Pureed Sugar Snap Peas
Sugar snap peas make a delicious puree. Just remember to remove the string from the pod.
Serves: Makes about 1 1/2 cups
Ingredients:
- 1/2 pound fresh sugar snap peas
- 1 wedge lemon
Directions:
- Trim the woody ends of the sugar snap peas, pulling and discarding the string from the side of the pod.
- Put a steamer basket in a large saucepan with 1" water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the peas, then squeeze the lemon wedge over the peas (this will enliven their flavor and help retain their color). Cover and steam for 3-5 minutes or until the peas are tender. The peas will be bright green and "sweating."
- Uncover and let the peas cool slightly in the pot. In batches, puree the peas in a blender or food processor, adding some of the steaming water if needed to loosen the texture of the puree.
- Pour the pea puree into storage containers or ice cube trays. Let cool completely before refrigerating or freezing. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
