Tarragon Snap Peas Recipes

Steps:

• Blanch sugar snaps in a 4-quart pot of boiling salted water , uncovered, 1 minute. Drain in a colander. Immerse colander with sugar snaps in a large bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking, about 1 minute. Drain again well, then transfer to paper towels and pat dry.
