Sun is shining and we are heading for summer!

All exciting fruits, vegetables, herbs are starting to appear. Sowing. Planting. I love this bit as much as I love cooking (and eating!)!

Last night was mild enough, so we decided to have a light dinner. Here is what we had with crusty bread, butter and a bottle of beer.

Heat a shallow pot (one that has a lid). Fry, with no added fat, half a good quality chorizo, and a cup full of bacon cut into lardons size. You could use panceta or a streaky bacon, but i think they are to fat for this, so just chop some rashers. When they start to get golden, add a finely chopped onion, 2 chopped garlic cloves, and a tiny bit of green chili. Keep stiring until all is golden. Add about 3 cups of garden peas. Stir all together. Check seasoning at this stage and add salt and pepper to taste. Create a little well and break an egg into it. Repeat process with as many eggs as you want. We had 2 each. Drop a knob of butter, reduce the heat and cover, without siring until the eggs are cooked to your liking. Finish with fresh chopped mint.

Delicious!
