Ingredients
- Kosher salt
- 1 1/2 pounds sugar snap peas, strings removed
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 ounces pancetta, diced
- 1 large leek (white and light green parts only), halved lengthwise and sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- Freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the peas and cook until bright green and crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and run under cold water until the peas cool to room temperature; pat dry. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring, until golden, about 5 minutes. Add the leek, garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the leek is soft, about 3 more minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the peas and 1/2 teaspoon salt and toss. Add the vinegar, season with salt and pepper, and toss again. Serve at room temperature. Tip: Snap peas have tough strings on both sides of the pod. To remove them, pinch off the stem and pull the string; repeat on the other side.

Reviews
I love this recipe. It has become a family favorite!
I love this recipe. Everytime I prepare this I’m asked for the recipe. I am preparing this for a pot luck Christmas Luncheon. This is for sure a winner.
I used scallions in place of leeks and bacon in place of pancetta.. just going with what I had in the kitchen : It was good. May try it with leeks and pancetta one of these days :
This was such a simple yet delicious recipe! We loved it. I used a garlic olive oil and used a little lemon juice. Perfect!
I made this for my lady’s birthday yesterday and it was great! We ended up eating more of this than normal for a vegetable dish. Instead of using pancetta, I used a 3 ounce package of prosciutto. It had a very good bacony flavor and the hint of tartness from the vinegar was just the right note.
