Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup peas, fresh or frozen
  • 1 handful snap peas, edges trimmed
  • 1 handful snow peas, edges trimmed, thinly sliced into match stick sized thickness
  • 3 slices of bacon
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tsp flour

Method

  • Get a bowl of ice water ready.
  • Heat a pot of water, salted, to a boil.
  • When boiling, add peas (if using fresh) and cook about 1 minute.
  • Add snap peas and cook about 2 minutes until bright green.
  • Then add sliced snow peas and cook another minute.
  • Drain, and add to ice bath to cool.
  • Meanwhile, heat chicken broth.
  • I used a half chicken bouillon cube with 1 cup water.
  • (use whole cube and 1.5 cups water if doubling recipe)
  • Cook bacon in a pan until crispy, remove and place on paper towel.
  • Add flour to bacon drippings in pan and whisk until toasted, about one minute.
  • Whisk in chicken broth and milk and cook until reduced by one-third and thickened.
  • Drain the peas from the ice bath and add to the sauce and cook through about 3-5 minutes.
  • If using frozen peas, add them now.
  • Transfer to serving plate and top with chopped bacon and ground black pepper.
