In an city saturated with aggressively rustic food, these hors d'oeuvres are a refreshingly couture treat for any Thanksgiving spread. (We should point out that this is a dish SFist has praised in the past.) Plucked from Martha Stewart's Entertaining (also known as Entertaining: A Case Study in Hysteria and Paranoia), this recipe for snow peas stuffed with soft cheese is a simple and not-too-filling preface to a carb-heavy dinner.
Also, why do we sound so much like Giada De Laurentiis right now?
Anyway, enjoy.
Ingredients:
50 to 60 tender young snow peas
1/2 pound soft herbed cheese (e.g., St. Andre, Boursin, cream cheese)
Fresh mint (optional)
Directions:
Remove stem ends from snow peas, and blanch in a large pot of rapidly boiling water for 30 seconds. Plunge them immediately into ice cold water to preserve their bright green color.
