Braised Spring Peas
- 2 slices pancetta
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil or Coconut butter
- 1 teaspoon coconut flour
- 1 cup low sodium chicken or vegetable stock
- 6 spring onions, trimmed, outer leaves discarded, and finely chopped
- 14 ounces fresh peas (you can use frozen but fresh works best)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1 lemon, juiced
- Olive oil to drizzle
- Special Equipment: Take out your large saute pan that has a cover! You will need to cover when simmering the peas! If you do not have a cover then use foil.
- Heat your saute pan and add 1/2 teaspoon of coconut or olive oil. Cut your pancetta into small cubes. Cook until crispy. Put in a bowl to the side.
- In the same saute pan add the butter and remainder of oil. Then add coconut flour and stir around (I like to use a small whisk). Slowly add the stock.
- Add the spring onions and peas season with red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
- Put the lid on and simmer for 5 minutes or until tender. Taste for any additional seasoning, add lemon juice and just when you are about to serve drizzle with a little olive oil.
