Peas and Bacon

1 Review

I make this dish when peas are at the height of their season and I love to serve it with simply cooked fish, such as grilled halibut or grilled salmon. It needs some acidity because of the richness of the bacon and rendered fat. Since I don't love lemon and bacon together, I opt for orange juice and zest; the brightness they add works perfectly here.

Ingredients

4 ounces bacon, diced (1 cup)

1 clove garlic, thinly sliced

1 shallot, thinly sliced

1 cup shelled fresh peas

Grated zest and juice of 1 orange

1/4 cup sliced fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Kosher salt

Directions

Cook the bacon in a large saute pan over medium-low heat until the fat is rendered and the bacon is crispy, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and shallots and sweat for 1 minute. Add the peas and increase the heat to medium. Pour in the orange juice and cook until the peas are tender, about 2 minutes.
Remove from the heat and fold in the orange zest, parsley and butter. Taste for seasoning and add salt if necessary, though you shouldn't need much because the bacon adds a natural saltiness to the dish.

These peas are incredible. If you've always been on the fence or "meh" about peas, this will get you off the fence. The orange with the bacon and shallot are just incredible. My niece, who's very picky, got seconds and was raving to my sister about them and the meatloaf from this episode.
