INSTRUCTIONS
This is a typical Italian way to do fresh, small peas. I use frozen Petit Pois (little peas) which just need heating through.
About 3/4 lb peas
2 - 3 shallots (or scallions) chopped finely
4 oz of streaky bacon, cut 1/8th inch thick.
1 tbsp chopped flat leaved parsley
White wine, or stock, or a mix of the two.
Cut the bacon into 1/8" cubes and fry gently in a non stick pan until semi crisp, and the fat melted. Add the peas and enough liquid to barely cover,the chopped parsley, and heat through, stirring occasionally. When warmed through (or cooked, if fresh peas, maybe 15 minutes if SMALL), add freshly grated black pepper to taste (lots!) and serve with veal chops, chicken breasts, lamb chops, or even burgers.
