Provided by Dan

Categories     Side Dish

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 shallots, peeled and sliced into rings
1 cup heavy cream, divided
Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
24 ounce package frozen peas
1 (5.2 ounce) package Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (see note*)
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Vegetable or canola oil for frying

Steps:

  • Add the sliced shallots to a bowl with 1/2 cup of the cream. Let the shallots soak for 15 minutes.
  • Add the flour and cayenne pepper to a bowl. Season the flour generously with salt and pepper.
  • Add the oil to a skillet over medium heat, you want enough oil to totally coat the bottom of the skillet. Drain the shallots from the cream and dust in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess. Once the oil is hot, add the shallots and fry until brown and crispy, just about 2 minutes on each side. Remove the fried shallots to a paper towel lined plate and season with salt.
  • Start a pot of water to boil for the peas. Once the water is boiling, add a couple of tablespoons of salt to season the water and then pour in the frozen peas. Bring the water back to a boil and cook the peas for 7-8 minutes until tender.
  • Drain the peas and return them back to the pot over low heat. Add the Boursin cheese and stir into the peas until it's melted. Next add the parmesan cheese, the remaining 1/2 cup of the cream and fresh nutmeg. Stir to combine and heat until warmed through.
  • Serve the peas in a casserole dish with the fried shallots on top for garnish.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh peas. If you're using frozen peas, thaw them completely before using.
  • To make sure the shallots are crispy, fry them until they are golden brown. Don't overcrowd the pan, or they will steam instead of fry.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the sauce will be thinner.
  • To make the dish more flavorful, add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder.
  • Serve the creamed peas immediately, while they are still hot.

Conclusion:

Creamed peas with fried shallots is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover peas. The creamy sauce is rich and flavorful, and the crispy shallots add a nice crunch. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
