Pod and wash the pees. Peel the onions and mince them. Slice up the sausage after removing its skin.
Place the olive oil and lard in a pan and put it on the flame. Add the onions, sausage and the bunch of parsley. Let the onions brown.
Add the peas and fry them for a few minutes. Cover with water. Season with salt and pepper and cook after covering the pan.
