Categories     Side Dish

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

16 oz. frozen green peas
2 Tablespoons butter
2 Tablespoons flour
1 cup half and half
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Cook peas according to package instructions. I prefer this method. In a small saucepan, boil a small amount of salted water (approximately 4 cups). Pour the boiling water over the frozen peas just until they are covered. You may not need all the water. Let sit for 3 to 5 minutes or until cooked.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt butter. Add flour and stir until smooth. Let cook for additional 30 seconds to remove raw flour taste.
  • Over medium heat, slowly add in half and half to the butter/flour mixture while constantly whisking. Bring to a boil while constantly whisking, and let boil for approximately three minutes until it thickens.
  • Add salt and pepper to the sauce.
  • Drain the peas, and add to the white sauce; stir. Cover with a lid and cook until the peas are hot and the sauce is creamy, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Taste, add more salt and pepper if needed.
