This gorgeous-looking, classic Roman side dish is a wonderful combination of sweet, tender peas and salty prosciutto.

Ingredients

Olive oil

2 tsp, divided

Prosciutto

1 oz, 2 (1/2-oz) slices, trimmed and torn or chopped into small pieces

Shallot

1 large, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced

Frozen green peas

2½ cup(s), (about 12 oz)

Water

cup(s)

Table salt

tsp

Black pepper

tsp

Fresh mint leaves

1 Tbsp, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tsp oil in medium heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add prosciutto and cook, stirring often, until crisp, about 3 minutes. With slotted spoon, transfer prosciutto to paper towels to drain.
  2. Add remaining 1 tsp oil to skillet. Add shallot and cook, stirring, until softened but not browned, about 2 minutes. Stir in peas, water, salt, and pepper and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until peas are tender and most of water is evaporated, about 4 minutes.
  3. Remove skillet from heat and stir in mint. Transfer to serving bowl and crumble prosciutto on top.
  4. Serving size: about 1/2 cup
