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.

WILD MUSHROOM FRITTATA WITH CHEDDAR, GREEN ONIONS, AND PEAS

Categories     Cheese     Dairy     Egg     Vegetable     Breakfast     Brunch     Broil     Vegetarian     Dinner     Cheddar     Legume     Pea     Green Onion/Scallion     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 large eggs
2 tbsp milk or water
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch of cayenne pepper
2 tbsp unsalted butter
3 new potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1/4-in/6-mm dice
4 green onions, white and tender green parts, thinly sliced
10 oz/280 g mixed wild mushrooms (see "It's that easy"), such as cremini, shiitake, and oyster, brushed clean and sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp minced fresh thyme
1/2 cup/70 g frozen peas, thawed
1/2 cup/55 g shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the broiler with the rack in the second position from the top.
  • 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, 1/2 tsp salt, a few grinds of pepper, the nutmeg, and cayenne.
  • 3. In a 12-in/30.5-cm ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. When the butter is melted and hot, add the potatoes and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Cook the potatoes, stirring every now and then, until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the green onions, mushrooms, garlic, thyme, and another sprinkle of salt and pepper and continue to cook and stir until the mushrooms have given off their liquid and are dry, about 4 minutes. Add the peas and cook until all of the veggies are tender and the peas are warmed through, another minute or two. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Spread the filling evenly over the bottom of the pan and sprinkle the cheese over the top.
  • 4. Pour the eggs evenly over the vegetables in the pan and reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan and cook for 2 minutes, then remove the lid and transfer the pan to the broiler. Broil the frittata until the top is lightly browned and the eggs have firmed up in the center, about 4 minutes. To test, press the center of the frittata lightly with your finger. If it feels firm, it's done.
  • 5. Remove the frittata from the oven and let it rest for 3 minutes on a wire rack on the countertop to continue to firm up before cutting it into wedges. It will be puffy when it comes out of the oven but will deflate and become firmer as it cools. Serve the frittata hot or at room temperature.

FARFALLE WITH ARTICHOKES, PEAS, FAVAS AND ONIONS



Farfalle With Artichokes, Peas, Favas and Onions image

The vegetable ragout that accompanies the farfalle here is inspired by a more labor-intensive, longer-cooking Sicilian spring stew called fritteda. The Sicilian version would also include fennel, and a lot more olive oil.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, weekday, pastas, main course

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Juice of 1 lemon
4 medium or 2 large artichokes, or 8 baby artichokes
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 pound spring onions or scallions, white and light green parts only, finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 pounds fava beans, shelled and skinned
2 cups shelled peas (about 2 1/2 pounds fresh peas in the pod)
2 teaspoons chopped mint
3/4 pound farfalle
Freshly grated Parmesan or Pecorino (or a combination) for serving

Steps:

  • Fill a bowl with water and add the lemon juice. Cut away the stem and the top third of each artichoke, break off the leaves and trim them down to the bottoms, placing them in the water as you go along. Quarter them and slice large quarters about 1/4 inch thick. Save the leaves and steam them; serve them as a first course or a side dish.
  • Drain the artichoke hearts and dry on a clean dish towel. Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large, heavy lidded skillet or Dutch oven. Add the sliced artichoke hearts and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Turn the heat down to medium, add the onions (or scallions) and cook, stirring, until the onions are tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the peas and favas, 2/3 cup water and salt to taste and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 20 minutes, until all of the vegetables are tender. Taste, adjust salt and add pepper to taste. Stir in the mint and remove from the heat, but keep warm while you cook the pasta.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add salt to taste and the pasta. Cook al dente, usually 10 to 11 minutes for farfalle. Add a ladleful of the cooking water from the pasta to the vegetable mixture and drain the pasta. Toss with the vegetables and serve, with Parmesan or Pecorino, or both.

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups whole milk
3 whole cloves
1 bay leaf
1 pound pearl onions (about 2 cups), peeled, trimmed, or 1 pound frozen pearl onions, thawed
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 1-pound bags frozen peas, thawed
1/4 cup crème fraîche, whole-milk, Greek yogurt, or sour cream

Steps:

  • Bring milk, cloves, and bay leaf to a boil in a small saucepan; reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes to let flavors meld. Strain into a medium bowl; discard solids. Cover milk and keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, place onions in a large skillet (at least 12"). Add water to half-cover the onions (about 1 cup). Add 1 tablespoon butter, 1 teaspoon salt, and sugar. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until liquid has evaporated and onions are golden brown, about 12 minutes. Gently transfer onions to a large plate.
  • Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in same skillet over medium heat; add flour and whisk to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally and scraping up browned bits from bottom of pan, for 1 minute. Whisk in reserved milk, adding 1/4-cupful at a time. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly. Stir in remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Add peas and onions; stir until heated through. Gently fold in crème fraîche.

Tips:

  • Fresh ingredients: Always use fresh peas and onions for the best flavor. Freshly picked peas are sweeter and more tender than frozen or canned peas.
  • Choose the right peas: There are many different types of peas available, so choose the ones that you like best. Green peas are the most common type, but you can also find sugar snap peas, snow peas, and black-eyed peas.
  • Cook peas properly: Peas should be cooked quickly to preserve their flavor and color. Overcooked peas will become mushy and lose their sweetness.
  • Use a variety of cooking methods: Peas can be boiled, steamed, sautéed, or roasted. Each cooking method will produce a different flavor and texture.
  • Season peas well: Peas have a mild flavor, so they can be seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices. Salt and pepper are always a good starting point, but you can also add garlic, onion, thyme, rosemary, or mint.
  • Serve peas as a side dish or main course: Peas can be served as a side dish with meat, fish, or poultry. They can also be used in salads, soups, and stews. As a main course, peas can be made into fritters, burgers, or falafel.

Conclusion:
