Crispy Pepperoni with Orange Bell Pepper and Green Peas

Andalusian-inspired comfort food: tender pepperoni paired with orange bell pepper and green peas and bulgur wheat, finished with thyme and a hit of star anise. 1. Pat the pepperoni dry and season with salt, star anise. 2. Heat duck fat in a heavy pan and braise the pepperoni until it develops a deep golden crust, about 19 minutes. 3. Add orange bell pepper and green peas to the pan and cook until just tender, stirring in thyme for fragrance. 4. Cook the bulgur wheat separately according to type until tender, then combine with the pan juices. 5. Finish with a generous drizzle of caesar dressing before serving hot.
