Braised Peas With Pancetta And Onions Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the shallots, garlic, salt, and pepper, and saute until tender, about 1 minute. Add the peas and saute until heated through, about 5 minutes. Stir in the prosciutto and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the parsley and remove from the heat. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper, and serve.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a medium (10-inch) saute pan, add the pancetta and shallot, and cook over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pancetta is browned and the shallot is tender. Add the frozen peas, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook over medium-low heat for 4 to 5 minutes, until the peas are hot. Stir in the mint, taste for seasonings, and serve hot.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large sauté pan with a lid. Fry the onion gently for about 5 mins, until softened. Meanwhile, pull any damaged or coarse outer leaves from the lettuces and trim the bases. Cut the lettuces in half lengthways, through the base.
• Place the lettuce cut-side up on top of the onions and cook for half a minute, then turn over and cook for another 30 secs. Pour over the stock and lightly season. Put the lid on the pan, reduce the heat to the minimum and cook for 10 mins.
• With a slotted spoon, lift the lettuces out and put into a sieve over a bowl. Raise the heat under the pan and boil the juices until reduced by half. Add the cream or crème fraîche and petits pois and boil for 1 min until heated through. Arrange lettuces in a serving dish and pour over the pea-and-cream sauce.

Steps:

• Slowly heat the butter(he says a nob of butter not a TB) and a good glug of olive oil in a pan.
• Add the flour and stir around.
• Slowly add the stock.
• Turn up the heat and add the spring onions, peas and lettuce with a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Put the lid on and simmer for five minutes or until tender.
• Salt and pepper to taste, squeeze in a bit of lemon juice, and drizzle with oil. Serve!

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a medium-sized saucepan and fry the chopped onion and pancetta for 8 - 10 minutes until the onion turns golden and the pancetta is brown but not crisp.
• Stir in the peas, still frozen, and 150ml of water. Add the thyme and gently warm through. Cover, then gently simmer for about 15 minutes until the peas are tender and the water has almost evaporated.
• Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste and serve

Steps:

• Heat two tablespoons of the olive oil in a medium-sized pan, add the onions and fry until lightly golden on all sides. Add the water, cover and simmer for five minutes until just tender.
• Meanwhile, chop the parma ham, trimmings or the pancetta into small pieces. Uncover the pan, add the remaining oil, garlic and ham or pancetta and cook for a minute or two. Add the peas, 3/4 teaspoon salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Cover and simmer gently for 15 minutes until the peas are very tender and the flavours have had time to amalgamate.
• Stir in the parsley two minutes before the end of cooking. Serve as a starter or side dish.

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.
