SUGAR SNAP PEAS AND SPINACH WITH GINGER (ANNE BURRELL)

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil over high heat. Set up a bowl of well-salted ice water.
• Blanch the snap peas in the boiling water until they are cooked but still crunchy and then immediately plunge them into the salted ice water. Remove them from the ice water and reserve.
• Coat a large saute pan with olive oil. Add the ginger, garlic, and scallion and cook over medium-high heat until scallions are soft and translucent.
• Add the sugar snap peas and toss to coat in the oil.
• Add the spinach and toss with the peas until spinach starts to wilt. Remove from heat and season with salt. Toss or stir the spinach to finish wilting then transfer to a serving bowl.

ASIAN MARINATED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, chile paste, ginger, garlic, scallions, and orange zest. Add the pork to the bowl and turn to coat with the marinade. Let the chops sit in the marinade for a few minutes.
• Coat a large saute pan with oil and bring to a high heat. Remove the chops from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Reserve the marinade. Sear the chops 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove the pork from the pan.
• Ditch the excess oil from the pan. Place the saute pan on the hottest burner. Add the marinade to the pan-it should come to a boil instantly. WARNING: This liquid MUST be brought to a boil to kill any bacteria from the raw meat juices.
• Turn off the heat. Place 2 chops on a plate, spoon a few drops of the marinade over top, and serve with Sugar Snap Peas and Spinach with Ginger.
