Creamed peas and onions is a classic side dish that is often served with roasted chicken or pork. The dish is made with fresh or frozen peas, onions, and a creamy sauce. It can be made in a variety of ways, but the most common method is to sauté the onions in butter until they are soft, then add the peas and cook them until they are tender. The sauce is then made by adding milk, cream, and flour to the pan and stirring until it thickens. The dish is then seasoned with salt and pepper to taste.

CREAMED PEAS WITH MUSHROOMS AND ONIONS.
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.
