This is another Roman dish that has entered the national Italian cuisine. In Rome, and especially in family homes and the more modest trattorie, it is considered a light and economical main course, but there is a tendency these days to serve it as an accompaniment to meat courses.

RECIPE INGREDIENTS

5 oz prosciutto (or pancetta)

3 tablespoons butter

1 onion, thinly sliced

2 lb small, tender green peas, shelled

1 cup beef stock

salt

DIRECTIONS

Chop the prosciutto finely, discarding the very fatty parts. (If a stronger flavor is desired, use pancetta.)

In a skillet, melt half the butter. Add the prosciutto and onion. Cook over low heat until the onion is translucent. Add the peas with 2 or 3 tablespoons of the stock. Season with salt. Cover and cook for 10 minutes. Add more stock if the mixture dries out too much. Stir in the remaining butter and cook for a few more minutes before serving.
