ITALIAN PEAS AND EGGS

Italian Peas and Eggs image

This is a slightly spicy and VERY filling side dish that you can alter to suit your family's tastes. It's the absolute only way to get my kids and I to eat peas! Simple, filling and TASTY! This comes from my father-in-law's family where inexpensive foods were used to create a filling meal. My husband LOVES to sop up the pea/oil juice with fresh Italian bread. Great as a side for meat dishes.

ITALIAN PEAS

I use frozen peas for this one because they are always available but when the fresh peas are in season I use them. They make it even more delicious.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 small chopped onion
2 minced garlic cloves
1 lb frozen green pea
salt and pepper
parsley
italian seasoning
1/4 cup grated romano cheese

Steps:

Heat oil and butter in skillet over medium heat. Stir in onions and garlic, cook about 5 minutes until starting to brown just slightly.
Add peas, season with salt, pepper, a pinch of parsley and a pinch of Italian seasoning. Cover and cook until the peas are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes depending on how you like them done. I don't like mine mushy so I just cook them about 10 minutes.
When you serve them, sprinkle the cheese over top.
