Ingredients:
- 2 cups frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Start by cooking the frozen peas in a pot of boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes, then drain and set aside.
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk until combined. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Slowly add the milk to the skillet, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Add the cooked peas to the skillet and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serving Suggestions:
Creamed peas make a great side dish for any meal, especially when served alongside roasted chicken, grilled steak, or baked fish. You can also add some chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley or thyme, for extra flavor.
