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.

Time 45m

Yield Serves four to five

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3/4 pound fingerling potatoes or Yukon golds, scrubbed and sliced
4 large garlic cloves, minced
4 cups freshly shelled peas (about 4 1/2 pounds)
Generous pinch of saffron
1 1/2 quarts water or chicken stock
Salt
freshly ground pepper
4 to 5 eggs
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, or a mixture of parsley, tarragon and chives
4 to 5 thick slices country bread, toasted and rubbed with a cut clove of garlic

Steps:

  • In a heavy soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat, and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about five minutes, and add the potatoes and garlic. Cook, stirring, until the garlic begins to smell fragrant, about one minute. Add the water, saffron and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 15 minutes. Add the peas, cover and simmer another 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and the broth is sweet. Taste, adjust salt and add pepper.
  • One by one, break each egg into a teacup, then tip into the soup. Poach the eggs for four minutes until just set. Place a crouton in each bowl and, using a skimmer or a slotted spoon, scoop out a poached egg and place it on top. Stir the herbs into the soup, then ladle the soup into the bowls and serve.

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 ounces thick-cut slab bacon, sliced crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces (see note)
1 yellow onion, diced
1 tablespoon white vinegar
4 to 6 large eggs
3 cups (about 1 pound) frozen baby peas, thawed
1 medium tomato, seeded and diced
Coarse salt
Ground white pepper
1 tablespoon minced parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté bacon until crispy-chewy, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels. Reduce heat to low and add onion to skillet. Sauté in bacon fat until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, fill a deep skillet with 3 inches water and add vinegar. Place over medium heat and bring to a bare simmer. Break an egg into a 1/3-cup measuring cup and gently tip into water. Repeat with remaining eggs. Poach to taste, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate and trim neatly. Cover and keep warm.
  • Add peas to skillet with onions and toss until warmed. Add tomato and bacon bits, and season with salt and pepper.
  • To serve, transfer pea mixture to a warmed serving bowl. Make an indentation in peas for each egg, nestle in eggs and sprinkle with parsley. Instruct guests to scoop peas onto their plates and crown with an egg.
