Note: This post is linked to Seasonal Eats for June 2012 at Delectable Musings.My vegetable project continues. Sugar snap peas are only available for a few weeks around this time of year, so as soon as I see them at the Green Market I snap them up (pun intended) and don't stop until they are gone. I usually serve them with pasta if I haven't eaten them all by the time I get home.
This time I wanted to try something different, so I decided to make a simple saute with a shallot, white wine and fresh basil. Because the snap peas are best if cooked for a scant minute or two, this dish can be whipped up in an instant, and serves as a refreshing, flavorful side dish for steak, fish or chicken.

Add the peas and saute for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the basil. Serve hot.
