Lemon-Butter Snow Peas
SUBMITTED BY:
Taste of Home Test Kitchen
"A handful of ingredients and a microwave are all our home economists needed to create this terrific treatment for fresh snow peas. A bit of lemon juice, some mince garlic and a dash of Italian seasoning make it a perfect addition to any meal."

Easy and delicious way to add some zip to snow peas. I steamed them for 2 minutes, and then substituted olive oil for the butter and drizzled the oil/lemon/seasoning mixture overtop - even my 18 month old gobbled them up - thank you!

This actually wasn't bad. I really liked the flavors of the lemon, butter, and Italian seasonings. Next time I don't think I'll cook the snow peas quite as long since they came out a bit soft.

I wouldn't change a thing about the sauce, however I cooked the snow peas in boiling water for about 4 minutes instead of using the microwave. The garlic and butter smelled so good while they were sauteing, and the lemon juice really gave this sauce a nice mellow tang. I think cooking the lemon juice versus just nuking the sauce helped to eliminate some of the bitter or tart taste others have complained about. I will definitely make this again!

I had to do some changes; I microwaved the snow peas, and then I put the cold butter in an alluminum bowl, added the peas and so the butter melted with the warmth of the peas, added the lemon juice, pepper and salt....then I sauteed them for about 5 minutes...and the result: AWSOME!

Hubby mixed it all together & then nuked it. It was too tart so next time, I'll follow the recipe exactly.

This was decent in flavor. Not the biggest hit in the house, but decent enough. I steamed my snow peas instead of using the microwave. Maybe that made the difference.

I loved this because it was quick, simple, and tasty. I was looking for a last-minute way to cook my garden peas and this was perfect.
