So good!!! I cooked my prosciutto first to make it crispy. I just put it on top after I cooked my peas. Very good recipe!
I was having a ham and garic-mashed potatoes yesterday for dinner (in-laws coming) and thought I’d make good ‘old “peas and carrots” which I love by the way. Just then I happened to be watching Ina and the episode that demo’d this recipe. So, I thought, hmmm, why not peas AND CARROTS? I didn’t have prosciutto, but had pancetta, and used it instead. So, the only thing I changed was the pancetta for the prosciutto, and I diced up 3 small carrots and added that before the peas…let ’em cook for a few minutes til barely done. This was great!
Delicious and SO simple!
Loved this! I cooked the proscuitto in the oil to get it crispy then did the onions et al. Put the crispy proscuitto back on top at the end. My 4 and 7 year old kids loved them and so did hubs and I. SO, so good!
I loved these, very easy and very tasty in fact making them for a belated Christmas dinner tomorrow. I use frozen peas
This episode has to be one of my favorites from Ina, I make every recipe from this episode and they are all delicious!
None of my family including me like peas but we love this recipe. The peas come out crisp on the outside and tender on the inside with a delicious taste. I recommend you buy a good quality thickly cut prosciutto (I use whole foods brand) as it makes a big difference. This is now a staple side dish in my house. It is so popular I am even making it for Thanksgiving dinner. A must try even if you are not a pea lover.
All my life I have only eaten one type of pea which comes in a silver can. I loathed the flavor of any other type of canned/frozen peas. If I had known peas, I used frozen, could taste this dang good, I would have been eaten the others for years. These were outstanding, IMO. As a matter of fact, making them again tonight along with the Lemon Chicken…..Yummmmmy!
I personally do NOT like peas but I made this for my nephew and he ate the entire bowl. Said they were delicious!!!!
Our foodie friends and I loved this and ate every last morsel!
Another hit. My 2 and 6 year olds gobbled it up- to get kids to eat peas is a treat! Served this with the lemon chicken and my husband said this is his new favorite dinner- its a family pleaser. I too used frozen peas.
