Sautéed peas with bacon and leek is a simple yet delicious side dish that brings a burst of flavors and textures to your table. The sweet peas combined with the smoky bacon and the subtle, onion-like taste of leek make for a perfect accompaniment to any main course.
- Use fresh or frozen peas: Fresh peas will give a vibrant taste, while frozen peas offer convenience without sacrificing much flavor. Just ensure they are thawed properly before cooking.
- Remove excess fat from the bacon: After cooking the bacon, you can drain excess fat if you want a healthier dish. Use paper towels to blot the bacon if necessary.
- Cook the leek properly: Ensure that the leek is well-cleaned to remove any dirt between the layers. Slice it thinly for even cooking.
- Season to taste: Salt and pepper are key to enhancing the flavors. Add them gradually and taste as you go to achieve your desired seasoning.
- Use a non-stick or cast-iron skillet: A quality skillet will ensure even cooking and prevent sticking. This will also help in rendering the bacon fat effectively.
