PEAS AND PROSCIUTTO
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 shallots, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 (1-pound) bag frozen peas
- 4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, diced
- ÂĽ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- ÂĽ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
Instructions:
Perhaps you’ll consider it “cheating” to add luxurious prosciutto to a vegetable dish, but I consider it a genius way to liven up the plate. And this is the easiest side dish you will ever make.
- In a Large, heavy skillet, heat the oil over a medium-low flame. Add the shallots and garlic, and sauté until tender, about 1 minute.
- Add the peas and sauté until heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the prosciutto, parsley, and ¼ teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Season the mixture with more salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and serve.
