Instructions

  1. If using fresh peas, bring a medium pot of water to boil. Blanch the peas for 3-4 minutes and remove. If using frozen peas, skip this first step.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook until golden brown and the fat has rendered. Remove the pancetta to a plate lined with paper towels.
  3. Add the shallots and red pepper flakes to the pan and cook until soft. Add the peas and lemon juice cook until warmed through. Transfer to a large bowl and top with the crisp pancetta and lemon zest.

Notes

  • I highly recommend serving this with pasta and a protein like chicken.
