#979: Sugar Snap Peas with Onions and Bacon


I have a on again, off again relationship with sugar snap peas.  Sometimes they are wonderful and sometimes I could care less about them.  But when I saw this recipe with BACON in it, I decided it was time to fall in love with sugar snap peas again.  Hell I'd fall in love with just about anything that had bacon on/in it.  Except salmon.  Blech...not a fan. 
This recipe was quite delicious.  I let my turkey bacon cook in a pan until it got super crispy and then I had to stop myself from eating it all before the snap peas were done cooking.  Personally, I think this could have used just a little bit of balsamic vinegar to give it a little tang, but it was still good. 

3 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 small yellow skinned onion, peeled and chopped
1 pound sugar snap peas
1/2 cup water
Salt and pepper
 
In a medium skillet over medium high heat, brown chopped bacon. Using a slotted spoon, remove bacon to a paper towel lined plate. Add onion to the pan. Saute chopped onions 3 minutes or so, until they are just tender. Add peas and water to the pan. Cover and cook peas 5 minutes. Uncover and allow the liquid to cook almost out of the pan. Add bacon back to the skillet and remove pan from heat. Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy!
