Spicy Garlic Snow Peas
Peas!  I love them all:  crispy-sweet snap peas, English peas, garden peas, split peas, and,of course, snow peas.  I throw them into my curries, stir-fries, rice dishes and soups year round but they’re so good this time of year that they need a chance to shine on their own.  This may not be that dish, though, since the peas get a lot of help from the garlic, red pepper and sesame oil.

Be very careful not to overcook these – the four minutes of cooking time is plenty for a crisp-tender pea.  I used double the red pepper since we like things spicy (and I suspect my red pepper is a little old and starting to lose potency).  Start with the quarter teaspoon and bump it up as needed.  We served this with hoisin-glazed salmon for a super-yummy, super healthy 300-calorie dinner.   Stay tuned for the salmon recipe!

Finally, make this paleo-friendly and equally delicious by swapping olive oil for the canola and honey for the sugar.
