Egg Salad Stuffed Snow Peas

Crunchy, light and delicious, these stuffed snow peas so easy to prepare and are great as an appetizer or anytime snack. If you are making them for a crowd, blanch and split the snow peas ahead of time, chill until ready to fill. The egg salad can be prepared ahead too. Besides egg salad, you can also use herb-flavoured cheese, chicken, tuna or crab meat to fill the pea pods.

25 Fresh snow peas
3 Large hard boiled eggs, chopped
2 tbsp Dill (or parsley) stalk, finely chopped
1 tbsp Shallot, finely chopped
2 tbsp Homemade mayonnaise
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/4 tsp salt
Freshly milled black pepper
Fresh dill
Pink peppercorns
Pomegranate seeds, optional

Blanch snow peas by placing in a bowl and pouring boiling water over them. Let stand for about a minute, drain immediately and place in ice cold water.
In a bowl combine together the chopped eggs, chopped dill stalks, shallot, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper.
With a small sharp knife, slit open the straight seam of each snow pea to form a pocket. Spoon a heaping teaspoon of egg salad into each.
Place them on a bed of fresh herbs or greens. Garnish each pod with dill, pink peppercorns and pomegranate seeds, if using. Eat immediately or refrigerate until serving.
