Sugar Snap Boats

This recipe took a bit of time for preparation (about 15 minutes), but led to a very nice side dish. This recipe calls for removing the strings - I've never bothered before when I've prepared these peas, and I was surprised at how robust those strings were. The stringed and sliced peas were really beautiful.

I added the 1/4 inch of water, but wished I had less because it took longer to cook it off than I really wanted to cook them. Nevertheless, they still had a crunch.

I thought the peas presented this way were really beautiful, they smelled wonderful, and tasted great. A perfect antidote for the snowy weather outside.
