Peas with carrots and new potatoes is a simple and tasty dish, perfect for a light dinner or a quick lunch. This recipe combines fresh ingredients and delicious flavors, making it an excellent choice to bring a touch of spring to your plate.
Ingredients:
- 300 g peas (fresh or frozen)
- 300 g new potatoes (preferably small and boiled)
- 2 medium carrots
- 1 large onion
- 150 g smoked bacon (or bacon if you prefer)
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 bunch of fresh dill (for decoration)
Step 1: Prepare the ingredients
Start by washing the new potatoes well under cold running water. If they are larger, cut them in half or quarters to cook evenly. Peel the carrots and slice them thinly. Chop the onion finely and slice the bacon thinly.
Step 2: Sauté the onion and bacon
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it becomes translucent. Now, add the bacon slices and lightly brown them for about 5 minutes until crispy. This will give the dish a rich aroma and savory taste.
Step 3: Add the carrots and potatoes
Once the bacon is browned, add the carrot slices and the cut potatoes. Mix well to combine all the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook over low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the potatoes are soft.
Step 4: Finish the dish
After the potatoes and carrots are nearly done, add the peas. If using frozen peas, there is no need to thaw them beforehand. Mix well and let it cook for another 5-7 minutes until the peas are cooked but still crunchy.
Step 5: Serving
Once the dish is ready, take it off the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve warm, sprinkled with freshly chopped dill for a fresh and aromatic touch. This pea recipe with carrots and new potatoes pairs perfectly with a steak or can be enjoyed alone as a vegetarian main dish.
Useful tips:
- For an even more intense flavor, you can add a teaspoon of butter in the last minute of cooking.
- If you want to try a vegan version, replace the bacon with smoked tofu or mushrooms.
- This recipe is perfect for adapting to the season by adding spring or summer vegetables such as zucchini or bell peppers.
