Creamed Peas

A Southern side dish that’s hard to beat. The sweetness of the peas paired with the creaminess of the sauce make it a perfect addition to any meal.

In a small saucepan over high heat, add: 

• 1- 15 oz. can Young Sweet Peas, liquid only, saving peas in can for later

• 1 tsp. Minced Dried Onions

• 1/2 Tbsp. Butter

• Black Pepper to taste

Bring to a boil. Allow to cook for 5 to 10 minutes, or until liquids have reduced by half.  

After liquids have reduced, lower heat to medium. Sprinkle in:

• 2 Tbsp. All Purpose Flour

Whisk briskly to incorporate flour into liquid. Once smooth add, add:

• 1/3 cup Milk

Stir slowly and allow mixture to thicken.  Add additional milk as needed to reach your desired creamy texture. Add:

• Canned Peas

Gently stir to coat peas. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. 

Perform a taste test and adjust seasonings to your personal liking.  

Serve and Enjoy!
