Ingredients
- 1/4 lb Salt pork, cut into 1/4" dice
- 1 x Yellow onion, peeled, sliced thin
- 1 pkt (20-ounce) frzn peas, defrosted
- Â Â Fresh grnd black pepper to taste
Directions
- It was Mr. Jefferson who really got us into peas. He was so fascinated by this legume which at one point he experimented with some fifty varieties.
- This must have been a typical way of cooking them since it is a method of cooking many vegetables in Virginia. In any case, when you have peas be sure and remember Mr. Jefferson. He would love to be at your table with you!
- The simplicity of this dish is what makes it so good. Salt pork was used for richness, much the same way we would use butter now.
- Dice the salt pork and blanch it for 1 minute in boiling water. Drain.
- Heat a large frying pan and saute/fry the salt pork just till clear. Add in the onion and cook till the onion is clear. Add in the peas and stir all well.
- Cover and cook till the peas are tender, about 8 min. Season with pepper and serve.
