Creamed Peas
Creamed peas are a great side dish to any meal especially family gatherings during the holidays. Make this buttery, creamy sauce with fresh or frozen peas in under 20 minutes. Such a easy to make recipe right on your stove top!
Ingredients
- 12 ounce peas (fresh, canned or frozen)
- 4 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
- 2 cup whole milk (any milk will do I just suggest whole for flavor)
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1.5 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 clove grated garlic
Instructions
- In a sauce pan on medium heat add butter. Once butter has melted add in flour and "cook" flour for about 10-15 seconds which means to stir it around the pot.
- Slowly pour in milk and heavy cream. It'll look as if you need more flour but allow it to reduce first, it's fine.
- Add in your peas. Sprinkle in salt, black pepper then grate the garlic over the cream sauce. Bring to a simmer, continue to stir often because the cream sauce can possibly begin to stick.
- Reduce until peas are tender and cream sauce is desired thickness. This should take around 15 minutes. 20 minutes for a extra creamy sauce.
- Remove from heat when thickness is reached then serve.
