food/snow peas

Instructions:

Fill large pot with water and add a pinch of salt.
Turn the burner to high, and let the water come to a rolling boil.
Clean and trim snow peas. Discard any that are damaged or tough.
Fill a large container with ice and cold water.
Drop 1 lb of peas at a time into the boiling water and boil for about 2 minutes.
Remove the peas with a slotted spoon and place them in the ice water to stop the cooking. Leave the peas in the water bath until they are completely cooled, 5 minutes or more.
They are now ready for the next step in the recipe that uses them.
