Sultani, the Turkish name for sugar snap peas, holds a special place in my heart. In my hometown, there’s a brief window every year when we celebrate these vibrant green gems with a recipe we lovingly call “Sultani fries”. It’s a tradition that’s not just about the taste but also about the joy of embracing the freshness of the season. This is a perfect dinner alternative for vegans and vegetarians.
You can make also Fresh peas stew for this season. It’s also perfect for vegans and vegetarian.
What do you need for sugar snap peas fry?
Corn flour, olive oil, and of course, sugar snap peas – you can create a dish that’s not only incredibly delicious but also captures the essence of spring in every bite. While the traditional method involves frying, you can easily adapt by baking them in the oven or using an Airfryer for a healthier twist.
The result? A delightful contrast of crispy exteriors and tender interiors that’s guaranteed to be a hit with family and friends alike. In our home, these crispy yet soft sugar snap peas have become a cherished favorite, eagerly anticipated as soon as spring arrives. I find myself making batch after batch until every last pea is enjoyed to the fullest.
Now, here’s a tip for those who want to elevate their dish even further: blanching the peas before cooking helps to preserve their vibrant green color, ensuring that they not only taste amazing but also look absolutely stunning on the plate. While I may skip this step in my own kitchen, it’s a wonderful touch to consider, especially when preparing this dish for guests.
All you need is sugar snap peas, corn flour, salt and olive oil. First start making sugar snap peas fry with peeling the edges of the peas. This part is important cause you don’t wanna eat the edges. The edges have a hard texture.
Put in a deep pot and cover with water. It’ should be warm or boiled. Use room temperature water. After boiled the peas you can put in a cold water( in a deep bowl add some water and ice cubes) to keep the green with blanching method. Drain the peas. You don’t need to use paper towel to dry, just be sure it’s not too wet.
Take a deep bowl, add corn flour and salt, if you want you can add a pinch of ground black pepper. Add the sugar snap peas and combine. Take a medium pan and start to fry. Almost 2 minutes each side.
So whether you’re indulging in this recipe for a cozy family dinner or sharing it with friends at a spring gathering, I hope it brings as much joy and satisfaction to your table as it does to mine. After all, good food is not just about nourishment – it’s about creating lasting memories and celebrating the simple pleasures of life. And for me, Sultani fries embody just that. Enjoy!
