Sweet Peas Parma

I made this Sweet Peas Parma as an afterthought to serve alongside the savory Burgundy Beef I made for dinner. In my opinion, this simple recipe stole the show!

I heated a tablespoon of olive oil and melted a tablespoon of butter in a skillet. Then I chopped a few slices of deli ham and minced a clove of garlic and added them to the butter and oil. Cook the ham until it gets a little crispy.



Then add in a medium tomato, seeded and diced. Salt and pepper. Heat through.



Last step, add a bag of cooked peas. I used one of those steam-in-the-bag brands that I cooked in the microwave.



That's it! Super easy and delicious. I grated a little Parmigiano-Reggiano over the top. Mmmm.
