So easy and tasty, it only takes a few minutes so make it fresh, the pancetta will be crispy. I don’t recommend doing anything in advance. The mint is a nice touch, a great side dish.
This was a hit! Super easy and delicious! A little salty…next time I will only add half the salt.
Can you make this ahead and reheat?
Super easy but not worth making ahead. Its such an easy recipe by the time you reheat the shallots and pancetta they would have cooked like normal. The biggest time saver in my opinion is to slice up the shallots the day before and put them in a plastic container in the fridge that takes the most time.
Great way to make your green vegetables a bit more special. I left off the mint because I didn’t have any and don’t like it. The
Looks impressive and is easy to make. Tasty! I didn’t have quite enough mint, but I used what I had and it was a nice touch, don’t skip that step. My mom felt it was a tad salty, but my dad and I liked it. Will make again!
As good as Nana’s!
Very tasty and a beautiful dish to put on the table. I had to use bacon because I live in the back of beyond where pancetta is not available, but cured pork is. Could also use cubed pork. Highly recommend.
Very easy to throw together. The result was a little underwhelming though. Loved the hint of mint. However, the Pancetta I purchased was cubed and honestly added very little flavor. I even increased the qty to 4 oz. with no real flavor change. Next time I’m going to use thinly sliced Lardons. This should amp up the pork flavor. Thanks Ina
HUGE hit at Thanksgiving dinner. Every family went home with a copy of the recipe. Super easy and delicious and made exactly as recipe is written. The Birdseye baby peas were so flavorful! Excellent recipe!
