Servings          
Original recipe makes 4
8 ouncesPetit pois; defrosted
2 ouncesPancetta; cubed 1/8th inch
1 Shallots; finely diced
chicken stock; Preferably home made to barely cover peas
4 tablespoonWhite wine
cracked black pepper; To taste
salt
1 tspSugar; optional
1/2 ounceButter

Italian Peas Preparation

Fry the pancetta cubes over medium heat until crispish (it can make things easier if you use olive oil with the butter, say 1/2 tbsps). Add the white wine and the peas, stirring around until the wine has mostly evaporated. Add the chicken stock, a good twist of black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Simmer until the peas are heated through, 5 - 8 minutes if frozen peas, 15 minutes if fresh, uncooked peas. They should be the small, sweet peas known as petit pois. Taste and adjust seasoning, add a tsp of sugar if you like them sweeter.
