Chef Filipe from Chef a Dias also shares his culinary expertise in bringing out the best flavours in this recipe.
Ingredients:
- 300g green peas (fresh or frozen)
- 1 sliced chorizo sausage
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 tablespoons tomato pulp
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil
- Fresh coriander for garnish
Cooking Instructions:
- Sauté the Base: In your stunning Sambonet Terra Cotto cast iron pot, drizzle a bit of olive oil and heat it over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bay leaf, sliced chorizo, and chopped garlic. Sauté until everything turns a lovely golden brown, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma. The even heat distribution of the cast iron ensures that everything cooks perfectly.
- Add the Tomato and Peas: Once your base is golden, stir in the tomato pulp and green peas. Mix everything well to ensure the flavours meld together beautifully.
- Simmer to Perfection: Pour in just enough hot water to cover the green peas. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover the pot and let it simmer until the green peas are tender and soft. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes, but keep an eye on it!
- Finish with Freshness: Once the peas are cooked to perfection, remove the bay leaf and stir in some fresh coriander for a burst of flavor.
- Serve and Enjoy: This dish can be served on its own or as a side to your favourite protein. The Sambonet Terra Cotto pot not only looks beautiful on the table but also retains heat well, ensuring your meal stays warm as you enjoy it.
