Italy

Known as an Italian recipe, with similar versions prepared across other nations.

Ingredients 7 ingredients

  1. 2 1/2 c Frozen green peas (1 1/2 10-ounce pkgs)
  2. INGREDIENTS:
  3. 1/4 ts Salt
  4. 1/4 c Coarsely chopped onion
  5. 2 1/2 tb Olive oil
  6. 1 1/2 ts Tomato paste
  7. 1/3 c Water

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Servings: 4
  2. DIRECTIONS:
  3. In a small bowl, combine the tomato paste with the water. Stir to dissolve.
  4. In a heavy, medium, nonreactive saucepan, heat the olive oil over moderate heat. Add the onion and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add the peas, salt and the diluted tomato paste and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to very low, cover and cook until the peas are very tender, about 15 minutes. Uncover, increase the heat to high and boil vigorously until almost all the liquid has evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve at once.
