Piselli Alla Romana (Roman Green Peas with Prosciutto) Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by ltrodrigu

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 medium white onion, thinly sliced
1/2 garlic clove, crushed with a knife and chopped
2 to 3 slices prosciutto, diced
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup light chicken broth
3 to 4 pounds fresh young peas, shelled
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon flat-leaf parsley, minced for garnish

Steps:

  • In a medium pan over medium-low heat, sauté onion, garlic and prosciutto, in extra-virgin olive oil, stirring occasionally, until onions soften and prosciutto releases some of its fat, 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, bring chicken broth to a brisk boil in a small pot over high heat. Add boiling broth, peas, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste to onion-prosciutto mixture. Stir, then increase heat to medium-high and bring liquid to a rapid boil. Cook until peas are tender, about 15 minutes. If pan gets too dry, add a little more stock. Garnish with parsley and serve with slices of crusty country-style bread.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher the peas and prosciutto, the better the dish will taste. Look for peas that are bright green and plump, and prosciutto that is thinly sliced and not too salty.
  • Cook the peas properly: Peas should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooked peas will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the peas, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: The olive oil you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Choose a good quality extra virgin olive oil that has a fruity, peppery taste.
  • Season the dish to taste: Salt and pepper are the only seasonings you really need for this dish, but you can also add a pinch of garlic powder, onion powder, or red pepper flakes if you like.

Conclusion:

Piselli al prosciutto is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. It is also a great side dish for roasted chicken, fish, or pork. The combination of sweet peas and salty prosciutto is a classic Italian flavor combination that is sure to please everyone at the table.
