RECIPE MAGIC!

STIR FRIED SNOW PEAS

Our snow pea stir fry is inspired by a basic Cooks Illustrated recipe. Instead of buying fresh lemongrass use our Drumstrick Lemongrass powder. No fuss in trying to find this ingredient at the grocery store. And definitely, no waste!

INGREDIENTS:


1 tsp ground Burlap & Barrel Lemongrass dried spice 
1 tsp lime juice
1/4 tsp Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4 tsp granulated sugar
3/4 pound snow peas (about 4 cups), rough tips removed as necessary
1 tbsp Basil EVOO
 
DIRECTIONS:
In a small bowl, add 1 tsp oil and shallot and stir to blend. In a second bowl whisk to blend salt, pepper, lemongrass powder and sugar. On high heat add remaining oil in medium non-stick skillet. When oil is glistening, add snow peas, then sprinkle with dry mixture. Cook for 30 seconds without stirring. Stir until tossed gently, and then cook for another 30 seconds without stirring. Continue to stir cooking until peas are crisp-tender about 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer peas from skillet to bowl. Then add shallot mixture to skillet and mash with spatula until softened and fragrant. Remove from heat and gently toss with peas. Stir in lime juice and Basil oil.
