Snow Peas with Toasted Sesame Seeds

I Heart Cooking Clubs is featuring a new chef. After a fond farewell to Ellie Krieger, we are cooking from the recipes of Australian chef Curtis Stone. I didn't really know a lot about Mr. Stone, but after looking at his website Curtis Stone, I was intrigued. I don't own any of his books, but his web site is very generous....lots of recipes are available. 

It's been a couple of very busy weeks. I didn't think I would have time to post this week, but there are a lot of fresh, tasty and easy recipes available. I chose a side dish. The recipe is found here: Snow Peas with Toasted Sesame Seeds.  This is the second time I have ever cooked with snow peas. They are a new favorite of mine. I already had most of the ingredients on hand. All I needed to do was purchase the snow peas and shallots. The most time consuming part of the dish is stringing the snow peas. Otherwise, it comes together quickly as a stir-fry. 
I served this yummy dish with Jane Brody's Stovestop BBQ Chicken, one of our favorite chicken dinners. 
Go to IHCC to see all the other tasty ways other cooks are welcoming Curtis Stone to I Heart Cooking Clubs.

  1. Yum, I love snow peas (and wish they weren't so hard to find). These look yummy and glazed with all kinds of delicious flavor. So glad you found an easy one so you could join in :)

  3. Ooo I love snow peas too. I remember when I was young, whenever my mom cooked stir-fry snow peas, I would take my own sweet time peeling the pods and eating the peas one by one at the dinner table. :D

  4. Snow peas and shallots are so spring like. Peeling the snow peas takes a long time and is so worth it with a dish like this.
