csa season has begun! we usually eat these crunchy things right out of the bag, but thought I'd try cooking them this time. once I added some mint from my dad's garden, the results were out of this world.

+ shell about a pound of snap peas and quickly blanch them in a small pot of boiling water
+ transfer quickly to an ice bath. in the meantime, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet
+ saute a handful of chopped green onions for a minute and add the drained peas
+ season with salt and pepper and cook for another 3-4 minutes
+ add a few tablespoons of chopped mint right before serving


(there are no photos of the finished product because we ate it too fast!)

This photo is making me mega-mega-mega-jealous. For the first time in years, I missed CSA sign-ups, so we're going bereft this year. :(
