Snow Peas in a Simple Orange Sauce

I would not have immediately connected the tastes of snow peas and orange until I tasted it. But the sweetness of the orange compliments very nicely the slightly sautéed snow peas.

This is another simple sauté that the kiddies should like and is made with common household ingredients. Key again is to not overcook the snow peas.

Ingredients:

3 cups snow peas
2 tbsp orange juice
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp finely chopped garlic
Grated zest of 1 orange
Salt & freshly ground pepper to taste

Process:

1) Zest the orange and set aside

2) Juice 2 tbsp of juice from the orange and set aside

3) In a medium skillet, heat oil

4) Add garlic and orange zest and cook until golden in color (30 seconds)

5) Add the snow peas and orange juice

6) Cook covered until the snow peas are snap tender ( 2 to 3 mins)

7) Cook uncovered for an additional minute until the juices start to thicken

8) Add salt and pepper to taste and serve
