6 ounces unsliced fennel salami, diced in 1/2- inch pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground white or black pepper
2 to 3 tablespoons Orange-Patis Butter, softened to room temperature, plus more for serving (recipe followers)
Directions
-
To make the ragoût, warm a medium cast-iron pan over medium heat on the grill (alternately, warm a skillet on the stove over medium-high heat to cook the ragoût there).

Melt the butter, then add the leek and fennel.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until the leek has softened, about 2 minutes.

Add the peas and salami; season with salt and white pepper. Cook until everything is just warmed through, about 2 minutes.
