• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

• 2 cloves garlic, finely minced

Instructions

1. Heat a frying pan over medium heat. If your hazelnuts aren’t already toasted, add them to the dry pan and toast for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from the pan and set aside.

2. In the same pan, warm the olive oil.

3. Add the sugar snap peas and stir-fry for 1–2 minutes, until they turn bright green and are just tender. Season with salt and pepper.

4. Stir in the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

5. Drizzle the hot honey over the peas and toss for another minute so they become lightly glazed.

6. Transfer the peas to a serving dish and sprinkle with the toasted hazelnuts.

7. If desired, finish with an extra drizzle of hot honey and a sprinkle of chopped chives.
