Title: Snap peas with sesame oil
 Categories: Vegetables
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      1 lb Sugar snap or snow peas
           Salt
           Sesame oil
           Chopped parsley or cilantro
 
  CUT ACROSS THE STEM END of the peas and pull off the string that runs
  along the length of the pea. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add salt
  and the peas. Blanch until the peas turn bright green and are
  tender-crisp, after a minute or so. Taste to make sure--the time will
  depend on the type of pea and how mature it is. Scoop them out with a
  strainer and shake off as much excess water as possible. Put them in
  a bowl and toss with just enough oil to lightly coat, a teaspoon or
  so. Add the parsley or cilantro and serve. For a variation, make the
  recipe using peanut oil or a fine olive oil tossed with basil rather
  than cilantro.
