Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2.5 oz pancetta cut into 1/4" thick chunks
  • 1 large shallot, halved and sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 12 oz bag of frozen peas
  • 2 tablespoons julienned fresh mint leaves
  • sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a shallow saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the pancetta and shallot and cook until the pancetta is crisp and the shallot is golden brown.
  • Add the minced garlic and saute for 1 minute until fragrant. Add frozen peas to the pan and stir gently. Only cook the peas until they are just hot, about 3-5 minutes, and then remove pan from the heat in order for them to retain their bright green color.
  • Stir in the fresh mint and add sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste.
