Time 30m

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Kosher salt
2 cups shelled fresh English peas or thawed frozen peas (about 10 ounces)
1 pound sugar snap peas, trimmed
1/4 pound snow peas, trimmed and thinly sliced
4 ounces pancetta, chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
Juice of 1 lemon
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Fill a large bowl with ice water. If using fresh English peas, add to the boiling water and cook until tender, about 1 minute. Add the snap peas and cook until bright green, about 2 minutes, then add the snow peas and cook 30 seconds. Drain the peas and plunge into the ice water to cool.
  • Cook the pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon. Add the flour to the drippings in the skillet and cook, whisking, until toasted, about 1 minute. Whisk in the chicken broth and cream and cook until reduced by one-third, about 6 minutes.
  • Drain the peas, shaking off the excess water, then add to the skillet (if using frozen peas, add them here). Cook, stirring, until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with the pancetta.

This dish was a complete disaster. The pancetta was too salty and the peas were undercooked.

I thought this dish was just okay. The peas were a little too mushy for my taste.

This recipe was too complicated for me. I ended up burning the pancetta.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out really bland. I think I might have used too much cream.

I'm not a big fan of peas, but this dish was surprisingly good. The pancetta and cream sauce really made the peas more palatable.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pancetta. I also added some chopped fresh herbs to the dish for extra flavor.
