Ingredients
1 kg snow peas, or sugar snap peas
500 g mixed mushrooms, such as button, cremini and shiitake
2 tbsp garlic butter, or 2 tbsp butter and 1 minced garlic clove
1 tsp salt
1 small lemon
pinch pepper
Instructions
Pull tough strings from snow peas and cut off stems. Slice mushrooms. If using shiitake, discard stems. Thinly slice caps.
Melt butter in a large wide frying pan or saucepan over medium-high heat. When bubbly, add mushrooms. Sprinkle with salt. Stir often until mushrooms begin to soften and turn brown around edges, 4 to 6 minutes.
Meanwhile, finely grate 1 tbsp (15 mL) peel and measure out 2 tbsp (30 mL) juice from lemon. When mushrooms are brown, stir in snow peas, lemon peel, juice and pepper. Stir often until snow peas are tender-crisp, 2 to 3 minutes.
