Reviews
I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy the snap pea/chive combination of flavors, but I was pleasantly surprised. (I happened to have those two items from my farm share this week, and was looking for an easy way to use both. This fit the bill!) Was also a pleasant change of pace from the ubiquitous stir-fry treatment of snap peas.
great side dish!
Though my husband enjoys them, I’m not a big fan of green vegetables. However, I’m trying to introduce more of them into my diet for the health benefits and I enjoyed these well enough.
