About this Recipe

By: Amanda

You can switch up the vegetables, adding red pepper, spinach or mushrooms, as you wish. The trick is not to overcook them. Serve with cauliflower rice and additional steamed green vegetables, such as broccoli and kale.

Nutrition

Snow peas, also called mange tout (meaning ‘eat all’ in French) are fairly high in carbohydrate compared to other green vegetables, but are a good source of B vitamins, vitamin A and K.
