BRAISED PEAS WITH PANCETTA AND ONIONS image

Categories     Vegetable     Side

Number Of Ingredients 5

250 grams fresh peas, shelled weight (you can substitute frozen peas - no need to defrost, add them straight from the freezer)
1 red onion, finely sliced
1 clove garlic, finely sliced
pancetta, cut into lardons
salt and freshly ground white pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Place a little oil and a small knob of butter in a skillet over a medium heat. When the butter has melted add the pancetta and cook until it has started to brown. Turn the heat down low and add the sliced onion and garlic - stir well and let it cook it very slowly until it has softened and become golden. During the slow cooking the onion will almost break and release it's juices - it's at this stage that you add the shelled peas along with just enough water to barely cover them. Simmer until the peas are almost cooked, turn up the heat slightly to reduce the excess liquid. Season to taste and then serve at once.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my peas were still tough. I think I might have cooked them for too long.

This recipe was too salty for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less pancetta next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out bland and watery. I think I might have added too much water.

This is a great recipe for using up leftover peas. I had a bag of frozen peas in my freezer and this was the perfect way to use them up.

This dish was absolutely delicious! The peas were tender and flavorful, the pancetta added a nice smoky flavor, and the onions were perfectly caramelized. I will definitely be making this again!
