1 onion2 leeks
2-3 cups of peas (deep frozen)
3 slices of bacon, cut in big pieces
thyme
bay leaves
pepper & salt
a little butter
Chop onions and leeks and fry them with thyme and bay leaves for a few min in butter on medium heat. Add boiling water, peas, and bacon and season liberally with pepper & salt (depending on how salty the bacon is). Bring to the boil, cover and turn down the heat. Let it simmer for around 10 min. I didn't bother mixing it with the hand mixer.
Today I was offered a piece of home-made castagnaccio, prepared with home-made chestnut flour straight from Tuscany and walnuts instead of pine nuts. The flour is really sweet so this doesn't need any sugar at all (aye labelga ;-)

Beautiful! Like the pics. Season liberally: aye, non manca il sale ;-)
Interesting info about the dessert..
Oleandri, where did you get those thick peas? This prompts me into making pea soup.
Delhaize, deep frozen, organic. Great taste!
