Here’s Giovanna’s recipe for a perfectly steamed appetizer of broad beans, peas, and bacon:

Ingredients:

One small onion

350g Broad beans

200g Peas (fresh or frozen)

120g Bacon

Glass of Water

Salt to taste

EVO oil

 

Directions:

  • Remove the broad beans from the pods and wash them under cold water. The Broad beans should be fresh; otherwise, their skin will remain rigid and get darker.

  • Then cut the onions into small pieces and the bacon into cubes. At the bottom of a small cocker, spray oil, fry the onions, and then add the bacon cubes.

  • Once golden, add the beans, peas, and salt, and cook for a few minutes like this.

  • Then add the glass of water and the salt.

  • Stew for about 30 minutes or until the grains soften. Add more water if necessary.

  • And here, your appetizer or side dish of Broad beans, peas, and bacon is ready.

Buon Appetito 😊
