RECIPE BY Cooking Light

Cutting half of the peas in half gives the dish a lovely look, but you can skip that step and leave them all whole, if you like.

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced radishes
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Gabbyct, butter and radishes are one of the most classic combinations...anyway, thought this was brilliant. So light and fresh. I did skip the slicing in half of the snap peas in the interest of time, but I can see how it would be visually appealing that way. Made with the orange and soy glazed salmon from the same month.

I don't see the appeal of radishes and butter. While I enjoy simply prepared food his salad did nothing for me. While I didn't hate it, I didn't love it either

Good, quick & easy side - didn't bother with the blanch; just covered the sautee pan for ~5 min to steam the peas in the butter. Added radishes lemon juice, salt, pepper & chives right at the end and allowed to cook for another ~5 minutes (the cook time on the radish tames the flavor a bit). Wouldn't hesitate to make again since it's really very easy, limited ingredients and tastes great with a simple grilled meat and bread. Enjoy!

This is a quick and delicious veggie side. I was out of chives, but it was still very good, I also used a meyer lemon for the lemon jc.
