Pea Pods with Mint Sauce Recipe

Pea Pods with Mint Sauce Recipe

  • 1 pound snow or sugar snap peas
  • 1/4 cup Lucerne Sour Cream
  • 1/4 cup Safeway SELECT Mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
  • Mint sprigs (optional)
  1. Fill a 5- to 6-quart pan with about 2 inches of water; cover and place over high heat. When water boils, arrange pea pods on a steamer insert and place in pan. Steam until pods are tender-crisp to bite, about 3 to 5 minutes. When done, immediately remove pea pods to a colander and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking.
  2. While water boils, in a food processor or blender, whirl sour cream, mayonnaise, and mint leaves until mint is finely chopped. Transfer sauce to a small bowl.
  3. Arrange steamed peas on a platter around the bowl of sauce. Garnish sauce with mint sprigs. Serve immediately, or chill to serve cold.
