Preparation

How to prepare Stewed Peas with Bacon

To prepare stewed peas with bacon, first shell the peas 1 and collect them in a bowl; you should get about 1 lb 2. Move on to the bacon: first cut it into slices 3.

From these, make strips 4. Mince the shallot 5 and move to the stove. Heat a drizzle of oil in a pot and add the minced shallot 6.

Cook for two minutes over medium-low heat with a pinch of salt (optional) 7, then add the bacon and cook for 3-4 minutes 8. Add the peas 9 and a pinch of salt.

Add the water 10 and cover with a lid, cooking for about 12-13 minutes, stirring occasionally 11. Adjust the salt to taste, being mindful that the bacon is salty. Once cooking is complete, turn off the heat and serve your peas with bacon 12!

How to store

Cooked peas can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for two or three days.

You can also freeze the cooked side dish.

You can also clean the peas beforehand and store them raw in the refrigerator for a few days.

Tips

If you prefer a milder flavor, replace the smoked bacon with sweet bacon.

Flavor the peas with basil leaves, adding them only at the end of cooking.
