Princess and the Snow Pea

Princess and the Snow Pea

Ingredients:
1/2 pound fresh snow peas
12 ounces crab meat, well drained
2 hard-cooked eggs finely chopped
1/4 cup light mayonnaise (more if needed)
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoons prepared horseradish or to taste
3 dashes of hot sauce or to taste
2 teaspoons capers, drained and minced
3 tablespoons celery, finely chopped

Preparation:
Wash and clean snow peas. Split peas on top side, leaving bottom intact to form a little boat. Blanch in lightly salted boiling water for 10 seconds; remove from heat. Immediately submerge snow peas in cold water for a minute. Remove and drain; set aside to cool.
In a medium bowl, add crab meat, eggs, mayonnaise, horseradish, hot sauce, capers, and celery; mix very gently so as not to break up crab meat.
Stuff cooled snow peas generously with crab meat filling (about 1 heaping teaspoonfuls of each snow pea). Chill in refrigerator until ready to serve.
Makes about 24 stuffed snow peas.
