Orgo-Life the new way to the future Advertising by AdpathwayCreamed peas are a cozy side dish with tender peas in an easy cream sauce. This recipe is a classic for good reason, it’s delicious and, dare I say, easy-peasy!
Ingredient Tips For Creamed Peas
- Green Peas: My preference is frozen peas since they’re on hand. If using fresh English peas, simmer them for 7 to 8 minutes, or until tender before making the cream sauce.
- Cream Sauce: This sauce starts with a flour and butter roux. Use either half and half for a richer flavor or whole milk mixed with heavy cream.
- Seasonings: I keep it simple with a pinch of dill (optional) and a generous amount of salt and pepper. You can add extra seasonings like onion powder or even fresh herbs like parsley if you’d like.
Variations
- mix the peas with cooked potatoes
- stir in chopped ham (or bacon)
- cooked pearl onions (boil them a few minutes before adding to the peas)
- cooked carrot slices
Creamed peas are the perfect side dish to serve with ham or even Thanksgiving turkey and are also great next to meatloaf or pork chops. Creamed peas are delicious over salmon patties as well!
