Granted, it's the later end of Week 5, but it's still within my week, so at least I made it!
This weeks challenge - the cousin of last's week's Snap Peas, whom I accidently bought... SNOW PEAS! It's Christmas Eve Eve and it's 60 degrees, this is as close as we're getting to snow on Christmas this year!
These little guys are going to become my own modifcation of Sesame Snap Peas...
Recipe: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/sesame-snap-peas/detail.aspx
I didn't actually have any chili oil, so I adapted by using olive oil and adding my own hot chili pepper flakes from the garden last year... I was doubting myself as I choked and coughed as the hot pepper fumes permeated the air, but in the end, it actually gave quite a great taste!
I didn't have any sesame oil or sesame seeds, so I don't know if I really can say I used the recipe, but it's close...
The snow peas are much cuter than snap peas, they're petite and less bulky and intimidating...
Turning good and golden, sizzling away in the skillet...
Me vs. snow pea!
Taste testing...
(PS - Where are you Kate??? The first veggie experiment I had to taste and document without you!?!)
I survived! And enjoyed it!
And I declare it a SUCCESS! Snow Peas are now part of the good veggie list!
Although I didn't actually have any type of sesame to include this time... with kick of the chili oil, sea salt and fresh ground pepper, sauteed in the skillet - where can you go wrong! So delish!!!
