Creamed Peas

Tender peas in a creamy white sauce made with butter, onion, flour and whole milk, with a pinch of sugar to bring out their sweetness.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cups frozen peas
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  2. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in milk until smooth.
  3. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently, until sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add frozen peas, salt, pepper, and sugar. Cook for 5-7 minutes until peas are tender and heated through.
  5. Adjust seasoning if needed and serve warm.

Notes

Whisk the milk in gradually so the sauce stays smooth, then add the peas straight from the freezer.
