Sugar Snap Peas -- Sweet and Delicious!

I love fresh peas from the garden.  Pick them when the pods are still tender... I match the length to the second knuckle of my index finger.  Remove strings from the pea pods if yours are a little more mature.

Place mix ingredients and place over medium to med. high heat. OR place in a veggie basket on the grill.   Stir occasionally 5-10 minutes until semi-crisp.  A little browning is yummy.
