Ingredients

250 g Garden peas (or bagged, precooked)
60 g Diced ham
¼ Onion
2 cloves Garlic
2 tablespoons Picual at Veraison EVOO
Pepper To taste

Instructions

Prepare the peas.
If they are fresh garden peas, boil them for 2-3 minutes. If they are bagged and already precooked, there is no need to boil them.
Sauté the onion.
Pour the Picual EVOO into a frying pan and heat over medium heat. Sauté the onion for 2-3 minutes.
Add the peas.
Add the peas and sauté together with the onion for 4-5 minutes.

If you are using bagged, precooked peas, add them only at the end so they don’t fall apart.

Finish with ham — Add the ham and leave for 1 more minute. Season with pepper to taste.

We chose Picual for its great stability, the ideal variety for frying. Of our three EVOOs, it has the highest level of polyphenols, which are responsible for that stability.
It works very well as a side dish for grilled fish or meat.
