Pea purée can serve as a garnish, a side dish, or as a spread on crackers or vegetable sticks. Use it as a bed upon which the main item in your entrée can rest. For example, sauté some scallops and place them on a pool of the pea purée.

Boil the snow peas in salted water for 15 seconds and then immediately submerge them in ice water. Toast the sesame seeds in a skillet over medium heat just for a minute or so until they brown and give off a nutty essence. Mix the peas, peppers, scallions, sesame seeds and soy sauce in a large bowl. Sauté the vegetable mixture in the sesame oil for 2 to 3 minutes or until the peppers are soft. Season with pepper and additional soy sauce if need be.
