All over Eastern Kentucky they are known as salat peas, Janie. I'm surprised you didn't know that. Their number one use is to get snapped into salads, thus the name.
You can sub them for snow peas in any recipe, though. And they're great when added to a stir fry. Or, you might enjoy:
Sauteed Snap Peas & Cucmbers with Shallot & Dill
1 tbls olive oil
1 tbls shallot, chopped
4 large cukes, seeded and cut into 1/2 inch chunks
12 oz (about 3 cups) snap peas, halved
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
2 tbls chopped fresh dill
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallot. Cook, stirring, 1 minute until softened. Add cucumber pieces, snap peas, salt & pepper. Cook 5 minutes until cucumber is just softened and vegetables are heated through. Sprinkle with dill and toss to combine. Serve hot.
or:
Sugar Snap Peas with tomatoes & Garlic
