Fresh Spring Peas with Italian Bacon and Onions
The Simple Joys of Springtime. And Italian countryside living. This morning at our neighborhood farmers’ market, I was thrilled to come upon large cases full of fresh, delicious edibles of all sorts. From artichokes to asparagus; to baby onions, broad beans, swiss chard, fennel, apples, oranges, kiwis, and so on. I kept on thinking of how fortunate I am to live in such a beautiful place, immersed in the nature of the hills of Massa Lubrense, with the fertile, mineral-rich lands and a climate that is ideal for vegetation. It’s no wonder I have never met a local farmer that didn’t tend to his land and crops, con amore, regardless of the season and hard work involved. The work must be so satisfying.
