How to make peas with bacon
In a pan let the butter melt on a low flame. Cut the bacon into strips or cubes and brown it with the melted butter and a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Brown the bacon well on all sides for at least five minutes, making sure that it does not lose its natural tenderness.
Add the peas to the pan, season with salt and black pepper, then leave to cook with the lid on low heat for about 10 minutes. During cooking, stir gently from time to time. Once cooked, we serve our tasty peas with bacon on a plate.
