2. Remove the skin from the sausage and crumble it by dropping it into the pan; let it cook on a low flame for a few minutes.
3. At this point, add the peas and the broth. Season with salt and pepper and cook for about 30 minutes on a moderate heat ; stir often, to prevent the meat from sticking together.
4. Meanwhile, in another pan, pour the chopped onion and another 3 tablespoons of oil.
