Ingredients
  • 1 250g can of peas
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 quarter onion
  • 50 g of serrano ham in small pieces
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • shawl

Preparation
  1. Chop the onion very finely and brown with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
  2. We add the peas with the broth that they carry for their conservation.
  3. Let the peas cook for about 10 minutes over medium heat, without allowing all the broth to consume.
  4. We break the 2 eggs on the peas, leaving space between them.
  5. Cover with a lid so that the egg curdles.
  6. We raise the lid constantly so that the egg is not overcooked, add salt.
  7. Add the serrano ham cubes.
  8. We finish curdling the eggs and that's it, let it rest for a few minutes and serve.

Notes
This dish can be made a few hours in advance, so the broth is completely consumed and the peas are tastier. For this it is important that the egg is not excessively curdled, since when it is heated, it can be too dry.

If you want to add a different touch, add a splash of white wine to the cooking of the peas.

Bon appetite!
