Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Total time: 40 minutes
Number of servings: 4

Necessary ingredients:

- 400 g canned peas (or 500 g fresh peas)
- 300 g kaiser (or bacon, if you prefer)
- 200 g Cirio tomato pulp
- 2-3 tablespoons of white wine (a dry wine is ideal)
- 1 medium onion
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil (or sunflower oil)
- Thyme, salt, and pepper to taste
- Optional: fresh dill, parsley, or basil for garnish

About the ingredients:

Peas are a vegetable rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as fiber, making them an excellent choice for a healthy diet. Kaiser, on the other hand, adds protein and a savory flavor to the dish. If you choose to use fresh peas, make sure they are well cleaned and washed, and for frozen peas, no prior boiling is necessary.

Steps for preparation:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by chopping the kaiser, onion, and bell pepper. Cut the kaiser into small cubes so that it fries evenly. The onion and pepper can be cut into larger pieces to give texture to the dish.

2. Sautéing the kaiser: In a pot, add the oil and heat it over medium heat. Add the kaiser and sauté for 5-7 minutes until it becomes crispy and golden. The aroma it releases will turn your kitchen into a true culinary refuge.

3. Adding the vegetables: Once the kaiser is ready, add the bell pepper and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Then, add the chopped onion. Continue to sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

4. Deglazing with wine: Pour in the white wine. This will add a note of acidity and help blend the flavors. Let it simmer for a few minutes until the alcohol evaporates.

5. Adding the peas and tomatoes: If using fresh peas, add them now along with the Cirio tomato pulp. If using canned peas, wait until the vegetables have cooked for a few minutes before adding them. Add enough water to cover the vegetables and kaiser.

6. Seasoning: Add salt, pepper, and thyme to taste. Let the dish simmer over medium heat for 15-20 minutes until the peas become tender.

7. Serving: Once the dish is ready, you can garnish it with fresh dill or chopped parsley for a fresh touch.

Serving suggestions:

The pea dish with kaiser is delicious served warm, alongside a slice of fresh bread or creamy polenta. Additionally, a green salad with tomatoes and cucumbers can perfectly complement this dish.

Interesting variations:

If you want to add more flavor, you can also add some olives or chili peppers for a spicier taste. You can also substitute the kaiser with chicken or turkey for a lighter option.

Frequently asked questions:

- Can I use frozen peas?
Yes, frozen peas are an excellent option and do not require prior boiling.

Add chopped chili or chili flakes during the sautéing.

- Is this recipe suitable for vegans?
