Cooking for one, when you get home at night, after a tiresome working day is a hard task. Chances are that you end up ordering some greasy stuff or that you eat anything that is in the fridge. But days and weeks go by and also goes your daily joy of living shall you choose to proceed this way. This is a nice, cozy and fast little recipe that I call bisi alla copa (peas and coppa). Where I live, coppa is a fairly ubiquitous piece of charcuterie and it is made of pork shoulder and seasoned with cinnamom and pepper. This is how I cook it: Sauteè a diced little onion in hot olive oil and melted butter. Add the already cooked peas (do not overcook, just three minutes in boiling salted water are enough) and sauteè for a while. Towards the end of cooking time, add diced coppa and some chopped parsley or mint (or both). Garnish with beet sprouts and eat with white rice or pasta. In Italy, prosciutto crudo is used instead. I do not recomend boiled ham, because to me it has a sad, poor taste of cold supermarkets.
