| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Put the bacon in a casserole and cook until crisp (about 2 to 3 minutes). Set the bacon aside on a piece of paper toweling. Discard all the bacon fat except for 1 tablespoon.
|
2. Add the pea pods to the bacon fat and cook, covered, stirring from time-to-time, until the pea pods are bright green and just barely tender.
|
3. Crumble the bacon and add to the peas. Season to taste.
|
4. If frozen pea pods have been used, add 1 teaspoon cornstarch for thickening when you start cooking the peas.

TIP:
|
|
A delightful addition is ½ cup of sliced water chestnuts or ¼ cup finely-chopped onion cooked in with the peas. Another time, try ½ cup chopped mushrooms; or how about ¼ cup chopped cashew nuts. There is no end to the interesting variations.
