Peas with Prosciutto, Tomatoes and Onion

Jud made the peas. He found the recipe in our Perdenales Electric Company magazine for February/March.
This was a good way to get our peas.  The fish will be listed under Seafood and can be found Here







Ingredients:
1 (16 oz.) bag of frozen baby peas
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 slices imported prosciutto, chopped
1 1/2 cups chopped tomatoes, fresh or canned
1/2 large yellow onion, chopped finely
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup water
Method:
Place all ingredients into a medium size sauce pan over medium heat. Cover and bring to a gentle boil. After 10 minutes, gently mix with a wooden spoon. Cover and continue to gently boil for an additional 30 minutes, checking every 10 minutes to make sure all the water has not evaporated. If it has, add 1/2 cup water.(Jud did not have to add any water) Season to taste. Serve immediately.
