Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 6
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups snow pea pods
- 5 to 8 strips of bacon
- 1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts
Instructions:
-
Cook the Bacon:
- In a large skillet, cook the bacon strips over medium heat until they are crispy and well-done. This will infuse the skillet with a rich bacon flavor, which will enhance the overall taste of the dish.
-
Prepare the Hazelnuts:
- While the bacon is cooking, take a small skillet and place it on medium-low heat. Add the chopped hazelnuts and roast them, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. The hazelnuts should become golden brown and fragrant. This step brings out their natural oils and enhances their flavor.
-
Combine Ingredients:
- Once the bacon is crispy and the hazelnuts are roasted, remove the bacon from the skillet and crumble it into bite-sized pieces.
- Add the snow pea pods to the skillet where the bacon was cooked, allowing them to cook in the residual bacon fat. Sauté the pea pods for about 3 minutes until they are tender yet crisp.
-
Finish the Dish:
- Add the crumbled bacon and roasted hazelnuts to the skillet with the snow peas. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the peas to absorb the bacon and hazelnut essence.
-
Serve:
- Transfer the snow peas with bacon and hazelnuts to a serving dish. Enjoy this simple yet flavorful side dish warm.
