Total Time:
Ingredients
- 2 thin slices prosciutto (2 ounces)
- kosher salt and black pepper
- 1 1/2 pounds fresh peas in the pod, shelled (about 2 cups), or 2 cups frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 ounces Feta, crumbled (1⁄2 cup)
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
Directions
- Heat oven to 450° F. Place the prosciutto in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until beginning to darken, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool (the prosciutto will crisp as it cools), then crumble.
- Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the peas and cook until tender, 5 to 7 minutes (1 to 2 minutes if frozen). Drain and rinse under cold water to cool.
- In a large bowl, toss the peas with the oil, Feta, scallions, prosciutto, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper.

Quick Tip
Don’t want to turn on the oven? The prosciutto can also be crisped in a skillet: Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a large nonstick
skillet over medium-high heat and cook for 2 minutes per side.

FRESH PICK
Cranberries
High in vitamin C, these hard, tart berries are grown in bogs in colder regions of North America and Europe. They’re almost
always eaten cooked, as in the classic Thanksgiving relish.
