Snap Pea And Radish Saute

Radishes are most often considered to be a salad ingredient, but they take on a mellow, almost sweet quality when added to a quick sauté of fresh sugar snap peas. This dish makes a nice accompaniment to just about any roasted or grilled meat, poultry or fish.

Ingredients ~
3/4 lb fresh sugar snap peas
1/2 lb fresh red radishes
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar

Preparation ~
Trim the tips from the sugar snap peas and remove the fibrous string that runs along the top of the pod. Trim the radishes and cut into 1/8-inch thick slices.

Heat the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the snap peas and sauté for about 1 minute. Add the radishes and continue cooking until they begin to turn translucent, about 1 to 1-1/2 minutes. Sprinkle with the salt and sugar, toss to combine and serve.
