Fresh asparagus, tiny pearl onions, carrots, and snow peas, are the basis for this yummy Spring-inspired vegetable dish. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter |
1 cup frozen pearl onions |
3 cups fresh asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces |
1 cup fresh carrots, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch coins |
1 cup fresh snow peas, stemmed |
1 cup frozen artichokes |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup frozen green peas |
1/2 cup thinly sliced green scallion tops (snipping with scissors works well) |
black pepper, to taste |
Directions:
1. Heat butter in a large, deep saute pan over medium-high heat. Carefully add pearl onions; saute until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat. (Can be prepared to this point a couple of hours ahead.)
2. Add asparagus, carrots, snow peas, artichokes, salt and 1/2 cup water to pan. Return to high heat; cover and cook until vegetables start to steam. Steam, covered, until almost tender, about 5 minutes. Add peas; continue to steam until vegetables are just tender, about 1 minute longer. Stir in scallion tops, and season with pepper and more salt, if necessary. Serve immediately.
