Sass!

This is what you need-
4 slices bacon, chopped
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
24 oz fresh English peas
3 Roma tomatoes, diced and drained
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon butter
Salt and pepper, to taste

Let’s do it–
Get you a large skillet out, turn your heat to medium and fry  bacon until crisp. Remove your bacon and let drain, keeping you about 1 ½ tablespoons of the bacon drippings in the pan. I do love me a recipe that starts with bacon drippings. Next, add your shrooms to the drippings and cook until they are tender; that should take about 10 minutes or so. Next, add the English peas to the mushrooms and give it a good stir making sure that the peas are coated with all of the bacon goodness. Add you about ½ cup of good chicken stock to the peas, preferably homemade. If you ain’t got time for all that, use store bought. Give the peas a good stir and taste the broth and season accordingly with a little salt and pepper. Put you a lid on it and cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring often. Don’t cook the peas to death like your Granny did. They are great when they are still a little crisp. We think you should give it a chance and try them like that. We are from the South and our mother cooked all of our vegetables to death and we do like them like that from time to time. If you don’t like the peas crisp, you can always cook a little longer. Towards the end of cooking add your Roma tomatoes, garlic, bacon and butter. All of those colors look beautiful together. Taste the peas and season to your likings. Serve in a pretty glass bowl
