Peas and bacon are a simple and delicious combination, perfect for just about any meal.
I had initially planned to share this recipe for my Cooking with Ina series, but I changed the recipe so much that it wasn’t really Ina’s recipe any more.
Ina’s recipe for Peas and Pancetta is from her Make It Ahead cookbook. I wanted to try the recipe, but I did not have all the ingredients I needed.
I did not have pancetta, but I did have bacon. The recipe also called for shallots, which I do not keep on hand, so I used onions instead.
I also left out the mint. I am sure the mint would be good with peas, but as with the two ingredients above, I did not have any mint.
I did follow Ina’s basic instructions, but since I changed three of the main ingredients, it really isn’t her recipe anymore.
Maybe I should say it is an Ina inspired recipe for peas and bacon.
