Time 35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 small shallots, thinly sliced into rings
1 cup half-and-half
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
2 10-ounce packages frozen peas
1 5.2-ounce package soft cheese with garlic and herbs (such as Boursin)
1/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Toss the shallots with 1/4 cup half-and-half and a large pinch each of salt and black pepper in a small bowl. Set aside to soak 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the flour, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl. Heat about 1/4-inch vegetable oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, remove the shallots from the half-and-half, coat with the seasoned flour and fry, stirring, until crisp and golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain; sprinkle with salt. Add more oil to the skillet as needed between batches.
  • Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the peas and cook until tender, 5 to 7 minutes; drain. Add the remaining 3/4 cup half-and-half and the cheese to the pan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until creamy. Stir in the lemon zest, nutmeg and a few grinds of black pepper. Stir in the peas until well coated; season with salt and black pepper.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the parsley. Transfer to a serving dish and top with the fried shallots.
