Instructions: Saute the shallots in the butter over medium high heat in a medium saucepan until softened. Stir in the peas, sugar, and chicken stock and cook until the peas are warmed through and tender. Slice the prosciutto in thin strips. Add to the pea mixture and cook for 1 minute. Drain the pea mixture in a colander over a bowl. Return the liquid to the saucepan and reduce over high heat until it thickens to a glaze. Add salt and pepper.

Place the peas in a serving dish, and pour the glaze over the top. Serve immediately.

Description:"This is a refreshing change from some of the more typical pea recipes served around the holidays. The striking flavor of the prosciutto nicely complements the freshness of the peas."
