Stir Fry Sugar Snap Peas

This easy recipe for stir fry sugar snap peas is a great healthy side dish. I sautee the snap peas and it takes little cooking time to have them on the table. I love a quick weeknight side dish!

For this recipe I used sugar snap peas from my garden. You could also purchase the peas at a farmer's market or grocery store. Although I can only grow peas in the spring and fall they can be purchased year round.

It is best to use tender peas that about the same thickness so that this dish cooks evenly. I like to chop the pea pods into bite size pieces, but you can leave them whole if you like.

It's important to use the sesame oil this recipe calls for. A lot of the flavor of this dish comes from that sesame oil. You also want to use a high quality minced ginger. Instead of mincing my own ginger I like to get The Ginger People's Minced Ginger. It cuts down on preparation time and tastes wonderful.

How do you prepare and cook snap peas?

First, wash and rinse the snap peas in cold water. Then chop the ends off, remove the stringy seam and chop into bite size pieces. You can enjoy the snap peas raw, but I prefer them sautéed. They make a wonderful side dish with meals.

What is the difference between snow peas and sugar snap peas?

There is a slight difference in the sweetness of the peas. The sugar snap peas are a bit sweeter than snow peas. There is a big difference in the size of the peas inside the pod. Sugar snap peas when picked while they are tender should have a small pea inside. While snow peas will have a tender shell and larger peas inside.

Either would work for this recipe. You will need to adjust the cooking time if you have larger peas inside the pea pod that will need to be sautéed longer.

Sweet and juicy blackberries are tossed with sugar, honey, and arrowroot powder and topped with a tender buttery gluten free biscuit topping that bakes up perfectly golden and gorgeous in just 45 minutes. It works beautifully with fresh wild blackberries, marionberries, and store bought blackberries alike, and because it also works with frozen blackberries you can make this gluten free cobbler any time of year.

This is the kind of simple and satisfying from scratch gluten free dessert that looks impressive on any table but could not be easier to pull together.

Living in the Pacific Northwest means we are surrounded by wild blackberries every summer and this gluten free blackberry cobbler is one of my favorite ways to use them up. There is something incredibly satisfying about going out and picking wild blackberries and then turning them into the most delicious homemade cobbler the same day.

The sweet bubbly blackberry filling paired with the golden gluten free biscuit topping is an absolutely perfect combination and it is even better served warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream melting right over the top.

Whether you are using fresh picked wild blackberries, homegrown marionberries, or a bag of frozen blackberries from the freezer this is the gluten free summer dessert recipe you will make again and again every blackberry season.
