SNOW PEAS AND CARAMELIZED SHALLOTS

Category: Peas

2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 1/2 tbsp sugar
1/2 lb shallots, peeled
3/4 lb snow peas, stems and strings removed

In a large skillet melt the butter with the sugar over medium heat. Add the shallots, stir gently to coat them with the syrup, and cook until the syrup is browned and the shallots are tender, about 20 minutes. Fill a saucepan three quarters full of water and bring to a boil. Add the snow peas and blanch until bright green, about one minute. Remove them with a slotted spoon and serve with the shallots.
