SUGAR SNAP PEAS WITH TOASTED ALMONDS AND FETA

Category: Peas

1/4 cup slivered almonds
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 scallions, sliced thin
1 garlic clove, minced
1 pound sugar snap peas, ends trimmed
2 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

In a small skillet over medium-high heat, add almonds and toast until golden brown, 5–6 minutes. Set aside.

Set a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil; when it sizzles, add scallions. Cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and continue cooking 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add peas, salt, and pepper. Cook 3–5 minutes, shaking skillet occasionally until peas are tender and water has evaporated.

Remove from heat; add lemon juice, feta, and toasted almonds. Toss gently to combine, and serve warm. Yield: 4 servings
