Chef’s Tip
Add cooked crumbled bacon and sliced hard-boiled egg for interest if you
have the extra prep time.
1 teaspoon butter
8 ounces (224 g) snap peas
½ teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lemon
juice
salt and pepper to taste
Heat a medium-size sauté pan over medium heat. Add the butter and let
it melt.
Add the snap peas and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes.
Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 1
to 2 more minutes, or until the snap peas are tender but still crisp. Serve
right away.
Yield: 2 servings
Chef’s Tip
Make these snap peas right before serving. The acid from the lemon juice
can turn the snap peas brownish if it sits too long.
1¼ pounds (568 g) sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons (28 g) unsalted
butter, melted
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 tablespoon (2 g) chopped fresh
herbs, such as rosemary and thyme
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat the oven to 350 ̊F (180 ̊C, or gas mark 4). Line a baking sheet
with parchment paper.
Cut the sweet potatoes into ⅛-inch (3 mm) slices. Place them on
the prepared baking sheet. Add the melted butter and toss to coat the
potatoes. Add the garlic, herbs, and some salt and pepper and toss again.
Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown on the edges and tender
in the center.
Yield: 6 servings
Chef’s Tip
Sweet potatoes have lots of naturally occurring sugar, which tastes
delicious but can burn easily! Watch these carefully as they bake,
especially the ones near the edge of the baking pan.
