how to cook sugar snap peas
All you need is a coarse salt. I recommend sea salt, Kosher salt or Himalayan salt for this, rather than table salt. The flavour and texture you get from high quality salt outshines the finer granules of table salt.
This sugar snap peas recipe is more of a base recipe in that it is super versatile. You can completely make it your own to suit your own flavour and textural preferences. Add some Sriracha sauce or seasoning, toasted pine nuts, crushed garlic, a sprinkle of parmesan, sliced almonds… the choices are endless!
INGREDIENTS
USMetric
▢ 2 teaspoons olive oil
▢ 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
▢ 1 pound sugar snap peas stem ends and string removed from each pod
▢ 1 teaspoon coarse salt plus extra to serve
▢ ½ teaspoon black pepper
▢ 1 pinch cayenne pepper optional for some heat
INSTRUCTIONS
Heat oil and butter together in a large pan over medium-high heat. When butter has melted, add the snap peas, tossing them around in the pan to coat in the oil/butter mixture. Season with salt, pepper and cayenne (if using) and sauté for until the snap peas are crisp-tender, about 4-5 minutes
Transfer to a serving bowl; season with extra coarse salt and pepper to serve.
NOTES
Tip: Try to use high quality salt for better texture and flavour!
Grant funds research on cilia’s role in OCNDS, aiming to uncover key molecular changes and accelerate future treatment breakthroughs.
“This project represents an exciting leap forward in OCNDS research by building on prior findings that identify cilia as a critical focal point in understanding the biology of OCNDS.”
— Dr. Gabrielle Rushing, Chief Scientific Officer of the CSNK2A1 Foundation
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, EINPresswire.com The CSNK2A1 Foundation, a patient-centered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the understanding and treatment of Okur-Chung Neurodevelopmental Syndrome (OCNDS), is thrilled to announce the recipient of the CSNK2A1 2024 Million dollar bike ride grant.
“This project represents an exciting leap forward in OCNDS research by building on prior findings that identify cilia as a critical focal point in understanding the biology of OCNDS,” said Dr. Gabrielle Rushing, Chief Scientific Officer of the CSNK2A1 Foundation. “Through our recent participation in the Rare As One Cycle 3 cohort, funded by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, we’ve joined forces with other ciliopathy groups to advance collaborative research. Dr. Loukil’s work holds immense promise—not only to uncover the mechanisms behind specific CSNK2A1 gene mutations but also for providing insights that could benefit the broader rare disease community.”
OCNDS is a neurodevelopmental syndrome caused by a mutation in the CSNK2A1 gene, which plays a critical role in brain development and function. Individuals with OCNDS often experience a range of symptoms, including intellectual disability, developmental delays, autism, seizures, and various physical and behavioral challenges. By funding research that delves into the specific molecular changes caused by the gene mutation, the CSNK2A1 Foundation aims to drive progress in the understanding and treatment of this syndrome.
“I am deeply honored to receive the CSNK2A1 Million Dollar Bike Ride pilot grant,” said Dr. Loukil. “This support empowers us to investigate the fundamental role of primary cilia in OCNDS and how their disruption contributes to the condition’s underlying biology. We are excited to embark on this research, which brings us closer to unraveling the complexities of OCNDS and paving the way for future therapeutic advances. My heartfelt thanks to the Orphan Disease Center and the OCNDS community for their trust and dedication to this important work.”
