Sautéed Snow Peas (mangetout, pea pods) with Browned Shallots

Total time: 25 minutes
     Another of those fleeting spring vegetables.  They cook quickly and are more versatile than 'just for stir-fries'.  If they are small, leave them whole.  If they are large (2", 5cm) cut in half of thirds, at an angle.

 Ingredients:

• snow peas - enough, 150gr, 5.3oz
• 2 shallots, 45gr, 1.6oz
• 2 tsp olive oil, 9gr, .32oz
• Salt and pepper

 Instructions:

• Peel and slice shallots.
• Clean pea pods - snip off the stem end.  Cut large pod into pieces, at an angle, if desired. 
• Heat oil in nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until browned, reducing heat after 10 minutes, about 20 minutes total time. 
• Add pea pods and sauté 5 minutes, depending on size, stirring frequently.
• Remove, add salt and pepper if using and serve..
