BBQ Sides

Sweet Corn & Snap Peas

May 22, 2019 by Tamara Giebel Leave a Comment

We all need one quick side dish. Simple, fresh corn and snap peas are gently sauteed for the perfect summer side dish that’s ready in about 5 minutes. That means you have more time outside at the grill!

Not many dishes made in just 5 minutes are this simply elegant. Fresh corn cut off the cob is gently sauteed together with minced garlic and sweet snap peas. I like to top with very thinly sliced fresh sage from the garden. It just adds an earthy flavor to the garden fresh side dish.

During the summer months, this is my go-to dish. Borrowed from my mother and slightly adapted (I like more garlic and pepper). My mother is THE BEST cook around. She always made home cooked meals for our family and they always had: meat, vegetable and starch (o.k. sometimes there were two starches). There were no frozen dinners. We ate out on special occasions, but mostly she cooked everything we ate. Of course my dad was always bringing home fresh salmon, crab, clams and shrimp, which made eating at home fun.
