• 1/2 lb. snow peas
• 2-3 small carrots, chopped
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2-3 cloves garlic
• 1/2 cup chopped filberts
• 2 Tbs olive oil
• salt to taste

Heat olive oil in a heavy frying pan.  Sauté onions and garlic until the onions are translucent.  Add carrots, chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts can be substituted for filberts) and salt.  I tend not to use much salt when I cook, but this is one recipe where I use more than usual.  The effect you are shooting for is for the nuts to take on a salted, roasted taste.  Cook for 3-5 minutes.  Add the snow peas and cook stirring until they take on a dark green color.  This recipe is also great with green beans instead of snow peas.
