Ingredients:

• 2 cups sugar snap peas
• 1/4 pound bacon, chopped
• 1 onion, finely diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Lemon slices for garnish

Instructions:

1. Cook the Bacon: Begin by cooking the chopped bacon in a skillet over medium heat until it’s crispy. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat. Set aside.

2. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, carefully remove all but a small amount of bacon grease, just enough to lightly coat the bottom of the pan. Add the finely diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant. Sprinkle in the sugar and stir to combine.

3. Add Sugar Snap Peas: To the skillet, add the sugar snap peas and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar snap peas are crisp-tender.

4. Prepare Bacon: While the peas are cooking, crumble the cooked bacon into small pieces.

5. Finish and Serve: Once the peas are done, remove the skillet from heat. Transfer the peas to a large serving dish. Drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the peas and season with salt and pepper to taste. Top with the crumbled bacon. Garnish with lemon slices if desired.

6. Enjoy: Serve immediately and savor the delightful combination of crisp peas, savory bacon, and fresh lemon!

This recipe is a breeze to make, and it delivers a burst of flavors with minimal effort. It’s a great choice for a quick weeknight dinner or a delicious side at your next gathering. Enjoy! 🌟🥓🍋
