Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams sugar snap peas
- 200 grams cherry tomatoes
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Rinse the sugar snap peas under cold water and trim the ends, removing any stringy parts if needed.
Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half.
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Add the sugar snap peas to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender-crisp and bright green.
Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the tomatoes are slightly softened.
Sprinkle the sea salt and black pepper over the vegetables, and stir to combine.
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the dish.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it on top as a garnish.
Transfer the sugar snap peas and tomatoes to a serving dish and serve immediately.
