Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh peas
- 200 grams Baby onions (peeled)
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 100 milliliters Chicken or vegetable stock
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chervil (chopped)
Instructions
Peel the baby onions and set them aside. If they are large, cut them in half for even cooking.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the baby onions and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to turn golden brown and soften.
Add the butter to the pan and let it melt. Stir to coat the onions evenly.
Add the fresh peas to the pan, followed by the chicken or vegetable stock. Stir gently to combine.
Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Cover the pan and let the peas and onions simmer over medium-low heat for about 5-8 minutes, or until the peas are tender and the liquid has slightly reduced into a light sauce.
Remove the lid and sprinkle the fresh chopped chervil over the peas and onions. Stir gently to incorporate the herb without breaking up the peas or onions.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm as a flavorful side dish with your favorite main course.
