Ingredients

1 white onion
3 carrots
3 medium-sized potatoes
as needed extra virgin olive oil
10.5 oz frozen peas (or fresh)
1 tsp salt

Tools

Skillet
Lid

Steps

First, heat a generous amount of oil in a large skillet or pan with high sides. Chop the onion and sauté together with the diced carrots for a few minutes.
Next, peel the potatoes and after cubing them, add them to the other cooking ingredients. Add half a glass of water and let cook for about 15 minutes with the lid on, at low heat.
At this point, remove the lid and add the peas, season with salt, and continue cooking at low heat with the lid on for another 10 minutes or so.
To finish, when all the ingredients are well cooked and soft, add the eggs being careful not to break them and let them cook with the lid on until they are hard-boiled.
Finally, serve the eggs with the vegetables and garnish as desired with raw oil and a sprinkle of chives.
