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.
