Cooking Instructions

30 mins
  1. 1

    Get a bowl of ice water ready. Heat a pot of water, salted, to a boil. When boiling, add peas (if using fresh) and cook about 1 minute. Add snap peas and cook about 2 minutes until bright green. Then add sliced snow peas and cook another minute. Drain, and add to ice bath to cool.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, heat chicken broth. I used a half chicken bouillon cube with 1 cup water. (use whole cube and 1.5 cups water if doubling recipe)

  3. 3

    Cook bacon in a pan until crispy, remove and place on paper towel.

  4. 4

    Add flour to bacon drippings in pan and whisk until toasted, about one minute.

  5. 5

    Whisk in chicken broth and milk and cook until reduced by one-third and thickened.

  6. 6

    Drain the peas from the ice bath and add to the sauce and cook through about 3-5 minutes. If using frozen peas, add them now.

  7. 7

    Transfer to serving plate and top with chopped bacon and ground black pepper.
