Fancy Sauteed Snow Peas

January 19, 2015

snow peas

Over the Christmas holidays I went out with my family to eat at a steakhouse. Before I became a vegetarian I would have never guessedΒ what in the world a vegetarian eats at a steakhouse.Β Eating out as a vegetarian or vegan is always an adventure of sorts. I’ve been to more than one restaurant where there was literally not one vegetarian option (let alone vegan lol) on the menu. After becoming vegetarian, you quickly learn that in a lot of places, not even the fries or salads are vegetarian.Β But at steakhouses I’m usually A-OK because there is always a ton of awesome sides to choose from – a bit ironic, amiright?Β And this steakhouse in particular had some really interesting sides on the menu.Β

I’ve always been the kind of person who likes to have a little bit of this and a bit of that so ordering a variety ofΒ sides over a main meal leaves me perfectly content (especially at a new restaurant where I want to try everything and can never make up my mind!). #EatHappyLiveHappy

Do you ever take inspiration from unique restaurant items you wouldn’t usually make at home?

This is exactly where these Fancy Sauteed SnowΒ Peas come in.Β I ended upΒ eating German spetzle, a shredded kale and brussel sprouts salad and these delicious truffle oil snowΒ peas – as a lot of vegetarians know, when in doubt,Β eat all the sides!! These fancy sauteed snowΒ peas were a big hit with everyone at the table! We recreated them several times over the holidays and I knew I had to share this simple recipe with you. These Fancy Sauteed SnowΒ Peas come together in a cinch and make the perfect warm or cold appetizer or side.

Truffle oil is not usually something I cook with in my kitchen because, let’s get real, it’s super pricey (aka not on my student budget). But for special occasions, sometimes a little truffle oil is just what you need. It’s unique and rich flavor is truly hard to beat. If you don’t have truffle oil on hand you can always substitute for extra virgin olive oil because can you ever go wrong with a bit of EVOO?

If you do end up making these Fancy Sauteed SnowΒ Peas, I love hearing about it! Share it with me on the Ceara’s Kitchen Facebook Page, Tweet it to me @CearasKitchen or Instagram it to me @CearasKitchen with #CearasKitchen. Wishing you a great week!

These fancy sauteed snow peas make a delicious, simple and easy side or appetizer!
Author: Ceara
Recipe type: Side, Appetizer
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 500 grams snow peas (4 heaping cups)
  • 1 tbsp truffle oil (or olive oil)
  • 2 heaping tbsp pine nuts
  • ½ tsp sea salt
Directions
  1. Warm truffle oil in a large pan over medium high heat.
  2. Add snow peas to the warm pan. Sautee for around 4 - 5 minutes until the snow peas start to slightly soften.
  3. Add pine nuts and sautee for another couple minutes. *Make sure to continue sauteeing the snow peas to ensure the pine nuts do not burn!

Yum This looks so good! Just how I like my recipes – simple and sophisticated πŸ˜‰ Never thought to try truffle oil like this with greens but maybe I’ll splurge on a bottle and try it! Love the addition of pine nuts too.
Lovely blog by the way – great recipes.

I love sides too and you can totally fill up on sides!! I love snap peas…love their crispy texture. I don’t like truffle oil unfortunately. I tried it once on some fries and it didn’t go over too well, lol! These still look delish and really easy and are certainly a pretty, vibrant color!

Reply
Ceara January 22, 2015 at 10:41 am

Thanks, Brandi! I think that truffle oil is one of those things that you either love or hate! I’d leave it up to you to make an awesome oil-free version of these πŸ™‚ Hope your week is going great!

Traci | Vanilla And Bean January 21, 2015 at 9:19 pm

Oh Ceara. I get it. Back home in Texas, when I visit, we always end up at a BBQ pit. Always. So what do I get? Sides (and I am great with this too!). But often the sides are laden with bacon, so I usually end up with the salad bar and a baked potato. At least the BBQ sauce is suitable for slathering on the potato!

Lovely snow peas. I can’t wait until these come back in season here. Santa brought me some truffle oil for Christmas, so this will be a perfect application! Thank you for sharing!!

Reply
Ceara January 22, 2015 at 10:48 am

Thanks, Traci! And what a great Santa you have bringing you truffle oil! What an amazing and useful gift – fancy cooking products are always my favorite Xmas gifts!

And I hear you re. sides being cooked in lard – that happens a lot here with french fries and croquettes! It still always catches me off guard! You can never go wrong with a loaded sweet potato or stacked salad bar though πŸ™‚

Hi Maria! Thanks for letting me know. These are in fact snow peas – silly, silly me! I live in Belgian and seem to have mistranslated the package I bought them in from Dutch! I am changing the recipe accordingly πŸ™‚ Hope you enjoy the recipe! Thanks again!

This looks so good..have to give this a try! I totally hear you on the limited options vegetarians have…that’s why when I eat out I prefer eating in India/Middle easter/Mexican restaurants..there are tons of veggie options in these cuisines..especially Indian…

I totally agree – all of the above options always have the BEST vegetarian options! Eating out as a vegetarian in an Indian restaurant is THE best!

I never thought about going to steakhouses for vegetarians, but that totally makes sense that you can eat all of the sides! And sometimes the sides are even better than the main course. I love that you got some inspiration to make these snap peas, Ceara! They look fantastic! I’ve never actually cooked these before, but I do love them. They sound like the perfect side dish! Pinned! Hope you have a wonderful Monday, friend!

Ceara January 19, 2015 at 4:55 pm

Happy Monday Ceara! I find that no matter what I make for dinner, I’m always looking for an awesome veggie side to go with it (I strive for 9 servings of veggies a day!). And snap peas are probably rank at the top for me. They are so tasty! I grow them in summer, but don’t mind splurging on them during the winter months because they are so nutritious. Love the pine nuts on top, what a great idea. Will be making this soon! Thanks!
