Make frozen peas fabulous with this recipe for garlic buttered peas!
Easier, tastier, never mushy and so tasty youll become known for them.
I tend to shy away from sharing basic recipes like todays Buttered Peas.
Prevent screen from sleeping
Too easily distracted by more exciting-sounding dishes.Pierogis!Crispy chicken burgers!Chocolate cream pie!
A staple side dish, quick to make but totally restaurant-worthy.
Though, posh restaurants might pod their own rather than buying frozen.
I guess they dont buy into the whole snap-frozen thing like I do?
Ingredients
I am a bit of a frozen vegetable snob.
Youll never find store-bought frozen broccoli or onion in my freezer.
But you will always find peas.
Frozen peas Cook from FROZEN, not thawed!
Well, its fine if they are thawed but there is no need to.
Baby vs regular The recipe works for either.
Baby peas (calledpetitepeasin some countries) are slightly sweeter with a slightly softer skin.
I am partial to these but wont hesitate to use regular peas.
Fresh You could also put me to shame by making this recipe with freshly podded peas.
Butter For lovely buttery flavour.
Garlic It just makes everything that much more delicious.
Salt and pepper Seasoning.
The water evaporates by the time the peas are cooked.
Tip the frozen peas inwith salt and pepper.
Add 1 tablespoon of water which creates a steamy environment to cook the peas a little faster.
The water evaporates in a few minutes, leaving behind just tasty butter!
Cookfor 5 minutes, stirring every now and then, or until the peas are heated through.
Prevent screen from sleeping
Frozen peas are cooked before freezing so they dont need to be cooked!
Serve Done and ready to serve!
Pour into a bowl or put straight onto dinner plates.
Dress them up
For every day, buttered peas are terrific just as they are.
The garlic and butter go a long way to make peas a whole lot more interesting!
Mint and peas is a classic!
Add however much you want, to your taste.
Lemon Stir through lemon zest for beautiful lemon flavour, or juice for tang.
Clarified/browned butterinstead of ordinary butter for even more intense buttery flavour.
But thats enough from me.
I know youve got a stack of other creative (easy!)
ways to dress up a bowl of peas.
