Keep the Peas
Summer's sweetest crop gets spicy
Even before she clinched the title of Top Chef on the Bravo reality show, viewers were enchanted by Stephanie Izard's culinary charms. So it makes sense that the buzz around her upcoming Chicago restaurant, Girl & the Goat, has been deafening. The restaurant is dedicated to bold, seasonal cooking in dishes meant to be shared. This recipe fits right into that theme: English pea pods tossed in an Asian marinade and topped with a soy-chile aioli. Place the dish in the middle of your dinner table--like a gussied-up version of edamame--and watch everyone dig in.
