CREAMY PEAS AND PANCETTA
This is a very quick and tasty side dish to make that will go down well with the whole family. I love fresh peas just boiled in some water and served with a little butter and mint, but my son is not as keen, so I came up with this so he would eat them and enjoy them. You can make this with frozen or fresh peas just make sure you cook the peas first if fresh.

FISH STICKS WITH PEAS
Two childhood classics - fish sticks and green peas - find their rightful place back at the dinner table for eaters of all ages to enjoy in this wholesome weeknight meal. The fish stick, coined "the ocean's hot dog" by the historian Joseph Peterson, was first manufactured by Gorton's, the Massachusetts seafood company, in 1953. It soon became popular as a tasty and effortless family meal for Americans wary of cooking fresh fish at home. The key to flavorful homemade fish sticks is to season them well every step of the way. Here, turmeric provides the nostalgic yellow tint while adding a warm, earthy flavor to meaty cod fillets (or any firm white fish). The accompanying peas get a lift from tangy lemon zest and fresh mint, and red-pepper flakes provide just enough heat to liven up your taste buds and dinner plates. Serve with tartar sauce for dipping and lemon wedges.

Steps:
- Prepare your dredging station and make the fish sticks: Place the flour, turmeric, onion powder, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper on a large plate; stir to combine. In a pie plate or shallow bowl, beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon of water and sprinkle with a little salt. Place the bread crumbs and 3/4 teaspoon salt on another large plate and stir to combine. Place a baking sheet beside you.
- Dry the fish well with paper towels. Season the fish with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, then cut into 1 1/2- to 2-inch strips. Dredge each piece of fish in the seasoned flour (shaking of any excess flour), then in the egg, then in the bread crumbs; place breaded fish pieces on the baking sheet.
- Pan-fry the fish sticks: In a large (12-inch) pan, heat the oil over medium-high. (To bake the fish sticks, see Tip.) When the oil is hot but not smoking, reduce the heat to medium and fry the fish sticks on all four sides until golden and crisped, about 4 minutes per side. You may need to do this in batches; add more oil if needed.
- While the fish fries, prepare the peas: In a large pan, heat the oil over medium-low. Add the garlic and cook, stirring continuously until fragrant, about 2 minutes, taking care not to burn it. Add the lemon zest and some red-pepper flakes, and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the peas and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, stir to combine, then cook for 1 minute in the lemony oil. Add 1/4 cup water, increase the heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the peas are tender but not mush and most of the water has been absorbed, 5 to 7 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. Remove from the heat and stir in the mint.
- Serve the fish sticks with the peas and tartar sauce, plus some lemon wedges to squeeze over the fish.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Look for plump, green peas and beans, and use pancetta that is not too salty.
- Cook the pancetta until it is crispy: This will add a lot of flavor to the dish. Be sure to render out the fat from the pancetta before adding the peas and beans.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this dish, so be sure to use a good quality oil that has a fruity flavor.
- Season the dish to taste: Add salt and pepper to taste, and adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Garnish the dish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as mint or basil, will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
Conclusion:
This peas and beans with pancetta and mint is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pancetta adds a salty, smoky flavor to the dish, while the mint adds a refreshing brightness. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table!
