Thanksgiving Peas with Pear and Pancetta
Tender green peas sautéed with crisp pancetta, onion, garlic, and a splash of broth create a bright, savory side dish for your holiday table.
Ingredients
diced pancetta
frozen peas
yellow onion
garlic
chicken broth
kosher salt
black pepper
Instructions
- Warm a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta; cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp and golden—about 4 to 5 minutes. Listen for the gentle crackling as fat renders.
- Toss in the diced onion; cook until translucent and soft, around 3 to 4 minutes. Add minced garlic and stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant, with a nutty toasted scent.
- Pour in frozen peas and chicken broth. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the top. Stir to combine so every pea gleams with glossy sheen.
- Cover the skillet and let steam on medium for 5 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Uncover and cook an extra 1 to 2 minutes, until most liquid evaporates and the tops of peas show light browning.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, covered, until they reach 165°F (74°C).
Cool the dish to room temperature within two hours before refrigerating to ensure food safety.
