For a recipe that calls for only four ingredients, including oil and sea salt, this dish delivers great flavor and requires just a small investment of your time. Because of their simplicity, the peas are also incredibly versatile. Talented young cook Kirsten Wilson shared this inventive recipe with me.
Ingredients
- 1 lb sugar snap peas, trimmed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Fleur de sel
- 1 to 2 tbsp minced chives (optional)
Directions
1. Arrange a rack 4 to 5 in from the broiler/grill and preheat the oven to broil/grill. Line a large, heavy baking sheet/tray with foil.
2. Place the peas on the baking sheet/tray and toss with the oil, and then spread them in a single layer.
3. Place the peas under the broiler/grill and broil/grill for 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and turn the peas over with a metal spatula. Return the pan to the oven and broil/grill for about 2 minutes longer, until the peas are just lightly charred. Transfer the peas to a serving bowl and sprinkle them with fleur de sel (about 1/2 tsp or less). Garnish the sugar snaps with minced chives, if desired.
