How to Make Peas Fit For A King Or Queen
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Dice 4 ounces of bacon or pancetta into small pieces and cook in the oil until golden brown and the fat has rendered (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove the bacon to paper towels to drain.
- Halve 2 shallots and thinly slice them.
- Cook the shallots in the rendered bacon fat until softened (about 3-4 minutes), along with 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes.
- Add 1 pound of thawed frozen peas and heat through (about 2-3 minutes), stirring frequently to distribute the shallots evenly.
- Stir in the cooked bacon or pancetta.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
- Note: Pancetta can be expensive. High-quality thick-cut smoked bacon works wonderfully as a substitute!
