Italian Peas And Mushrooms Recipe

How to make it

---

• On medium heat cover the bottom of the pot with olive oil.
• When the oil is warm add onion and sauté for five minutes.
• Add the tomato paste and stir until you can smell it.
• Add the peas and stir with a wooden spoon until they are coated with the tomato paste.
• Add the mushrooms and mix in.
• Add a bit of salt and pepper to your taste.
• Add the broth a little at a time as the frozen peas let out moisture.
• Turn the heat down to simmer, cover with the lid inverted so steam can escape.
• Let simmer one hour then test for tenderness. You don’t want them mushy.
• Stir once in a while to make sure they are not sticking to the pot.
• Add more broth if needed.
• My mom would use peas from the garden but they take longer then the frozen ones. If made with garden peas give them about one and a quarter hour.
• There is no recipe for this dish, this is how I learned to make it.
• It doubles wonderfully.
• I also tried this with fresh mushrooms but did not like it at all.
• We ended up tossing it.
