Wyck's Farm Manager Landon Jefferies puts out recipe cards created by the Food Trust that are appropriate to the growing season. One of the first spring recipes that Landon will recommend once the market gets going is this one for sautéed snap peas and green garlic.
Sautéed Snap Peas and Green Garlic
2-3 Stems of Green Garlic*
2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to Taste
Wash garlic and snap peas. Remove any strings from peas. Cut off and discard the tougher, fibrous ends of the green garlic leaves. Slice the garlic—the bulbs, stems and tender starts of leaves—on the bias.
Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the garlic first and cook for one minute. Add the snap peas and cover. Remove the lid occasionally to stir. When the snap peas are tender, but still have a slight crunch, remove from heat and add salt and pepper to taste.
* Green garlic has a strong but fresh garlic taste. It is not as pungent as cured garlic but is very flavorful.
