Introduction

This is a great way to jazz up some boring peas! This is a great way to jazz up some boring peas!
Number of Servings: 1

Ingredients

    4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    1 Spanish onion, cut into a fine dice
    Small pinch granulated sugar
    1 teaspoon chili flakes (more if you like spicy)
    1 tablespoon tomato paste (can use paste in a tube)
    2 cups fresh green peas (can substitute frozen or canned)
    Salt

Directions

In a large saute pan heat the oil until smoking. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add the chili flakes and tomato paste and cook until rusty looking 4 to 5 minutes. Add a very small pinch of regular sugar at this point. Add the peas and cook until very tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt. Serve hot or at room temperature.
You can use frozen or canned peas-frozen is a little better with texture.

    Very Good
    This is a great recipe, but I think it should be four servings and not one serving. I also cut the crushed red pepper in half. That is a personal preference. Also I did not cook the peas as long as I like them a bit crisper - 5/20/11
