  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1-1/2 pounds fresh snow peas
  • 1 cup chopped sweet yellow pepper
  • 1/3 cup minced fresh basil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, saute garlic in oil for 30 seconds. Add snow peas and yellow pepper; saute for 2-3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Stir in the remaining ingredients; saute 1 minute longer. Serve immediately.
