Ervilhas Guisadas, versão vegetariana - Portuguese Pea stew , vegetarian version

This is yet another traditional Portuguese meal. If I am not mistaken more from Alentejo and the Algarve, the Southern parts of Portugal. It could not be any easier but is so very good and comforting for the winter months. This is always a hit with the kids even those who do not care for peas.  Perhaps it is the fun of breaking the egg and mixing everything together or simply the taste altogether.
