Ingredients
- 4 ounces bacon, diced (1 cup)
- 1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 shallot, thinly sliced
- 1 cup shelled fresh peas
- Grated zest and juice of 1 orange
- 1/4 cup sliced fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Kosher salt
Directions
Cook the bacon in a large saute pan over medium-low heat until the fat is rendered and the bacon is crispy, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and shallots and sweat for 1 minute. Add the peas and increase the heat to medium. Pour in the orange juice and cook until the peas are tender, about 2 minutes.
Remove from the heat and fold in the orange zest, parsley and butter. Taste for seasoning and add salt if necessary, though you shouldn't need much because the bacon adds a natural saltiness to the dish.
