Snow pea with roasted almonds is an elegant and simple dish that combines the freshness of young peas with the crunchy nutty note of almonds. Its roots trace back to European cuisine, where the harmony of natural ingredients is valued. The light caramelization of almonds in butter reveals their deep aroma, while the addition of shallots gives the dish a gentle sweetness. Lemon juice completes the composition, refreshing the taste and adding a slight tanginess. This dish is perfect as a side for meat and fish dishes or as a light snack on its own. Its airy texture and rich flavor make it an ideal addition to festive tables or exquisite dinners.
