Fresh Peas with Prosciutto

• 4 tablespoons ( 1/2 stick) unsalted butter
• 1 small red onion, minced
• 4 cups (4 pounds in the pod) shelled fresh peas
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 cup chicken stock, preferably homemade
• 4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, cut into thin strips
• Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
2. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, just until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in the peas, sugar, and chicken stock and simmer covered until the peas are barely tender, about 5 minutes.
4. Stir in the prosciutto and cook 1 minute longer.
5. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the peas and prosciutto to a warmed serving bowl.
6. Reduce the liquid remaining in the saucepan over high heat to a thin syrupy glaze.
7. Pour the glaze over the peas and season with salt and pepper.
8. Sprinkle with parsley and serve at once.
