Currently viewing the tag: "snow peas"
INGREDIENTS
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ onion, sliced thinly
- 1 whole green garlic, chopped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 hand fulls of snow peas
- 1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped (dried is not as OK here, but you could probably use it too)
DIRECTIONS
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized 8- to 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sprinkle with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Sauté the onions until softened and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
Add green garlic and saute for 2 minutes. Then add peas and sauté until they have turned bright green in color, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the cilantro. Season with additional salt and pepper, to taste, and serve.

Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 onion, chopped
- 5 cloves garlic, crushed and chopped
- 1 cup Quinoa
- 3 ‐ 4 cups water (or vegetable broth)
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 shelled peas
- Salt and pepper
- 1 cup vegetable broth
Directions
Melt butter in a pan. Add garlic and chopped onion. Stir until the onion becomes slightly brown. Add Quinoa and bay leaves. Alternately add broth and water 1/2 cup at a time after the liquid was absorbed. When Quinoa is cooked (the grains become clear without opaque middle), add peas and season with salt and pepper. Cook for a couple of minutes more until peas are heated. Sprinkle with parmesan right before serving. Make 2 ‐3 servings. To make it more interesting, you may add broccoli or chard during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
