1. Cook the peas in boiling water until just tender, drain and cool under running water. Melt a knob of butter in a large pan and add the pancetta or bacon. Cook for a couple of minutes, then stir in the cabbage. Cover and cook on a low heat for 10-15 minutes or until just tender. Add the peas and heat through. Season with salt, lots of pepper and grated nutmeg.

Know-how

If you can't find new season peas, frozen will do just fine.

  A great dish, have used it several times. I leave the nutmeg out but use the juice of a lemon which livens it up. Well worth a try.

  A delicious side dish for a roast sunday dinner plus quick & easy enough for mid-week family meals. I have varied it by using roasted baby onions in place of pancetta for vegetarians & by using garlic, cooked with the panceta instead of using nutmeg.

  Frozen peas work well, as does garlic butter for extra flavour in place of the butter. Nutmeg is worth using as it accentuates the sweetness of the peas.

  I made a vegetarian version with sauteed, seasoned tofu. I also added sliced green onion and caraway seeds for extra Hungarian flavour. Definitely use the nutmeg, but jarred is fine. I also added a little white wine and lemon juice to make some sauce for the tofu. Lovely and you don't need potatoes or rice or any of that extra work.
