Veggies!!!

We are making a concerted effort to eat more veggies at our house. I recently picked up a copy of Nigel Slater's Tender which is very nice.  Anyway, my hope is to share a number of the different recipes that we are trying.  I am finding them from various sources.  This one comes by way of the Splendid Table podcast.  Enjoy!

Sugar Snaps with Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Shaved Parmigiano

A couple of notes...the quality of the olive oil is important in this recipe.  I managed to acquire some olive oil from a friend while in Israel.  It is a very simple tasting oil which I really love.  I used the zest of about half a lemon which I happened to have on hand.  I didn't bother to shave large chunks of Parmesan over the peas.  I used my microplane grater and topped the peas with Parmesan that way.  Overall it was a very tasty dish, but I don't think it would store well.  We managed to eat the 8 ounces of peas we had prepared in one sitting.
