Sauteed Sugar Snap Peas with Radishes


This recipe comes to me from Bon Appetit (April 2004) via Smitten Kitchen (July 2008), and of course I've changed it as well, because I couldn't find dill seeds ANYWHERE.  Even Whole Foods disappointed - there was a slot for them in the spice rack next to the dill weed, but it was empty, mocking me.  Coriander seeds made an excellent substitution, however, and I have no complaints.

The radishes show a strong tendency to stick together in large stacks while cooking, so determined and attentive stirring is required.
