Piselli alla toscana

2 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
225 grams Frozen peas
1 Garlic clove finely chopped
2 tablespoons Olive oil
2 Slices of bread crusts removed
Vegetable oil for frying
Salt and pepper

Directions

Lightly cooked peas are tossed in olive oil and garlic, and then mixed with tiny cubes of fried bread. Delicious.

Pour boiling water over the peas and allow to stand for 5 minutes.

Drain. Put them into a pan and cook them with the garlic in the olive oil over a gentle heat for 3 minutes. Add a little water and turn the heat up for another minute or two, then season with salt and pepper.

Cut the bread into tiny dice and fry in vegetable oil until golden all over. Drain, and dry on kitchen paper. Toss these cro–tons into the peas and serve immediately.
