  • Blanch the peas before cooking. Blanching the peas helps to preserve their color and nutrients. To blanch the peas, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the peas and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green. Drain the peas and rinse them with cold water.
  • Use a good quality cream. The cream is the key ingredient in creamed peas, so it is important to use a good quality cream. Heavy cream or whipping cream are both good options.
  • Season the creamed peas to taste. Creamed peas can be seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and nutmeg.
  • Serve the creamed peas immediately. Creamed peas are best served immediately after they are made. They can be served as a side dish or as a main course.
