PEAS WITH ONIONS AND GUANCIALE



Peas with Onions and Guanciale image

Provided by Alex Palermo

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 pound cipolline onions or pearl onions
1/2 pound 1/8-to 1/4-inch-thick guanciale or pancetta slices, diced
2 pounds shelled fresh peas, blanched 5 minutes, or frozen peas, thawed

Steps:

  • Blanch onions in large saucepan of boiling salted water 5 minutes. Drain, cool, and peel onions.
  • Sauté onions and guanciale in large skillet over medium heat until fat is rendered, guanciale is golden, and onions are brown in spots, about 10 minutes. Add peas; heat through. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl.

Tips:

  • Use fresh peas. Fresh peas have a sweeter flavor and are more tender than frozen or canned peas.
  • If you don't have fresh peas, you can use frozen or canned peas. Just be sure to thaw frozen peas before using them.
  • Use a good quality onion. The onion is one of the main ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality onion.
  • Don't overcook the peas. Peas only take a few minutes to cook, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked peas will be mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Season the peas to taste. Salt and pepper are the basic seasonings for peas, but you can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Serve the peas immediately. Peas are best served immediately after they are cooked.

Conclusion:

Peas and onions are a classic combination that can be enjoyed in many different ways. This recipe for Festive Peas and Onions is a simple but delicious way to enjoy these two vegetables. The peas are tender and sweet, the onions are flavorful and slightly caramelized, and the butter and herbs add a touch of richness and flavor.
