CREAMED PEAS WITH MUSHROOMS AND ONIONS.



Creamed Peas With Mushrooms and Onions. image

Yummy side dish. I love peas! Use low fat milk for a lighter sauce or half and half for a richer sauce. I usually use what I have on hand. Sometimes I add a small handful of swiss cheese and a small handful of grated parmesean cheese to make it even yummier! I also find canned mushrooms work well in this if you are not against all things canned :) This is from southern cooking.

English Peas and Pearls (Creamed Green Peas With Pearl Onions) image

Peas & Pearls are a lovely accompaniment to Sunday roast chicken, or to traditional ham or lamb dishes! You may use fresh seasonal petite baby peas and white pearl onions, when available.

Provided by BecR2400

Categories     Onions

Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

16 ounces frozen baby peas
8 ounces frozen white pearl onions
2/3 cup cream
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 dash garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon crushed dried tarragon
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons sweet butter, slightly softened
1 tablespoon fresh finely snipped parsley (or fresh mint)

Steps:

  • Cook peas and onions (according to package directions) until done; drain. Set aside and keep warm.
  • In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cream, sugar, salt & pepper, garlic, tarragon, and flour until smooth.
  • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat to medium and continue to cook, stirring constantly, for three minutes more.
  • Reduce heat to low and add the cooked peas and onions to the cream sauce; stir gently to combine and heat through briefly.
  • Serve immediately with a garnish of sweet cream butter and fresh snipped parsley (or mint).

Tips:

  • Choose fresh or frozen peas. Fresh peas are best, but frozen peas are a good alternative. Avoid canned peas, as they are often mushy.
  • Use a good quality cream. Heavy cream or whipping cream will give you the richest and creamiest sauce. You can also use half-and-half or milk, but the sauce will be thinner.
  • Season the peas well. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all classic seasonings for creamed peas. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or nutmeg.
  • Cook the peas until they are tender but still have a slight bite. Overcooked peas will be mushy. You should see a small dent on the edge of the pea when you press it.
  • Serve creamed peas immediately. They are best when they are fresh and hot. You can also make creamed peas ahead of time and reheat them before serving.

Conclusion:

Creamed peas are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make creamed peas that are creamy, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion.
