  • In a large pot, melt oil and butter and sauté onion and garlic for 3-4 minutes, then add in potatoes and allow to sweat for a couple of minutes.
  • Next add in frozen peas and cover with stock, season with salt and pepper and allow to simmer on a medium heat for 25-30 minutes until potatoes are tender.
  • Place prosciutto on a lined baking tray and put in the oven for 12-15 minutes until crispy.
