Peas with bacon, shallots and Parmesan
Peas with bacon, shallots and Parmesan cheese is a quick and easy side dish and super flavorful way to dress up a bag of frozen peas!
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 3 slices bacon, see notes
- 2 large shallots, finely diced (about ½ cup)
- 1 12 oz. bag frozen peas, thawed (about 2 ½ cups)
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add bacon slices. Cook until the bacon is cooked through and crisped on both sides, turning occasionally, about 8-10 minutes.
- Remove bacon to a paper towel, leaving the bacon grease in the pan. Crumble the bacon and set aside.
- Add chopped shallots and sauté in the bacon grease until tender, 1-2 minutes.
- Add peas and stir until warmed through, 1-2 minutes.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve peas with reserved crumbled bacon and grated Parmesan cheese.
Notes
I use thick-cut bacon, but any kind will do.
To quickly thaw my frozen peas, I put them in a colander and run them under cold water for about a minute. Then they’re ready to add right in.
I adore shallots, but if you’re not a big fan, you could use just 1 shallot in the recipe.
If you prefer canned peas, you can substitute those. Or use fresh if you have some. You need about 2 ½ cups of peas total.
