Sweet green peas, salty crisp bacon, crunchy onion and fresh mint leaves... This peas and bacon salad is a great side dish for steak!
Slice the bacon up into smaller strips and transfer them to a non-stick pan. Don't add any butter or oil yet.
Place the pan over medium-high heat and fry the bacon for 4 minutes until cooked and almost crisp. Add the frozen peas and a little drop of olive oil to the hot pan. Then turn the heat to medium-low.
Stir fry the bacon and peas for about 3 minutes until the peas are cooked through. Also add the chopped onion. Season with a little pinch of pepper and salt to taste.
Cook the peas and bacon for another 3 minutes. Keep the onion crunchy though. Then add the fresh mint.
Stir well. Also add the white wine vinegar now.
Take the pan off the heat and stir all the ingredients well. Then check the seasoning of the peas and bacon and add extra pepper or salt to taste. Transfer them to a serving bowl. Drizzle with extra olive oil to taste. Serve the peas and bacon lukewarm or at room temperature.
