Method

Slice the onion

Wash and finely slice the spring onions. Cut the ham into small pieces and set aside the mint leaves.

Soften without browning

Heat the oil in a wide pan. Cook the onion over low heat for 6–8 minutes, stirring, until soft without browning.

Cook the peas

Add the peas and water. Cover and cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, or the packet time for frozen peas. They should be tender. Uncover and reduce any excess liquid.

Add ham at the end

Remove from the heat and add the ham, torn mint and pepper. Toss in the residual heat and serve. Taste before adding salt: the ham already seasons the dish.

Suggested wine pairing

Manzanilla · 6–8 °C

Our tasting suggestion is a dry manzanilla: its fresh profile accompanies the ham and leaves room for the peas’ natural sweetness. Try it with the mint included.

Kitchen tip: Do not keep cooking once the peas are tender. For a juicy finish, leave a little liquid in the pan before adding the ham.
