Snap peas have been calling my name recently!

Answering the call, was this recipe for Lemony Snap Peas on Garnish with Lemon and wanted to put my own twist on it.

Instead of boiling the pods, I tossed them with a small amount of oil and threw them under a screaming hot broiler for a couple of minutes until they blistered and got a little bit of a char on them.

Still holding on a to a bit of their crispness, I tossed the broiled snap peas into GwL’s lemony vinaigrette recipe… and the rest is delicious history!
