Snow Peas with Pine Nuts and Mint

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 pound snow peas, rinsed, dried, tips of the ends cut off, strings removed
• 1/4 cup pine nuts
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon dark sesame oil
• 10 large mint leaves, chopped

Method

1 Heat olive oil in a large skillet on medium high heat. Add the snow peas, garlic, and pine nuts. Stir to coat with the oil. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring. You do not want to overcook the snow peas or they will get limp. They should still be a little bit crunchy.

2 Remove from heat. Stir in the sesame oil and chopped mint leaves. Serve immediately.

Yield: Serves 2-3.
