Cookbook author and registered dietitian Sheela Prakash uses a hot cast iron skillet to lightly brown sliced red onions before cooking snap peas until deliciously charred in spots. This recipe from Prakash’s new book Salad Seasons shows home cooks how a quick go in a hot skillet can transform a humble vegetable into a smoky delicacy. Served with creamy burrata, fresh mint, and tangy sumac, this is a simple showstopper to welcome into your repertoire. Ingredients 3 tbsp olive oil 1 cup thinly sliced red onion 1 tsp kosher salt 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper 1 lb. sugar snap peas, tough strings removed 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice 1/4 cup fresh mint 1 tsp ground sumac (optional) 8 oz burrata cheese 1/4 tsp sea salt Directions Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Add onion, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened and lightly browned in spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Add snap peas to skillet in a single layer; cook over medium high, undisturbed, until charred in spots, 2 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender and lightly browned in spots, about 2 minutes. Transfer to bowl with onion. Add lemon juice, mint, sumac (if using), and remaining 1 tablespoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper to snap pea mixture. Toss to combine. Place cheese on a platter and spoon snap pea mixture around it. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with flaky sea salt, mint, and (if using) sumac.
