WARM WILTED PEA SHOOTS

SERVES 4

THERE’S MORE THAN JUST the pods to eat from a pea plant. In fact, some farmers are growing peas especially for their shoots and leaves, so look for them in late spring to add to the wide variety of greens like spinach, Swiss chard, and kale to eat raw or wilted.

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 large clove garlic, smashed

4 large handfuls pea shoots

Handful snow pea pods, blanched

Salt and pepper

Heat the olive and sesame oils in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, pea shoots, snow pea pods, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring often, until the pea shoots are just wilted, about a minute.
