Author Notes: I was making a spring-themed dinner for a friend who is watching her fat intake and came up with this easy side dish that combines very flavorful ingredients that really highlight the peas. - gluttonforlife - gluttonforlife
Food52 Review: A tasty and simple way to savor peas, I used preserved Meyer lemons when I prepared this. The mint overshadowed the subtleties of the almond oil, but the preserved lemon and mint combo is delicious! I'd do this recipe again. (Confession: I put a dab of butter on the peas after tossing!) - Amber Olson - A&M
Serves 6
- 3 cups English peas, shelled
- 3 cups snow peas (very fresh)
- 3 tablespoons preserved lemon, chopped
- 3 tablespoons fresh mint, chiffonade
- 1 tablespoon almond oil
- sea salt, to taste
- Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and blanch both kinds of peas for about 3-5 minutes. Drain and toss with remaining ingredients.

Oh yeah, major vacation. Slowly getting back into food, life, etc...! ; ) I've got a pantry full of different oils and a friend just gave me some of his his homemade preserved lemons, so I can definitely pull this off.

Almond oil and peas? Intriguing, on the to do list now.

I'm kind of on an almond oil kick these days. Its flavor is a bit more elusive than walnut oil, another favor. Btw, were you on vacation?
