Sugar Snap Peas with Lemon-Chili Breadcrumbs Directions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-low heat in a large heavy sauté pan. Add the breadcrumbs and stir until well-coated in oil. Toast, stirring frequently, until golden-brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, sauté for 1 minute, then stir in the lemon zest, chili flakes, and a generous pinch of salt. Transfer the breadcrumb mixture to a dish and set aside.
Heat the remaining oil in the pan over medium-low heat. Ad the sugar snap peas, a pinch of salt, and cook, stirring frequently, until crisp-tender and bright green, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat, fold in the breadcrumbs, and serve immediately.
