Easy Creamed Peas
Description
This recipe starts by melting butter in a pot and whisking in flour to create a smooth roux. Milk is then added gradually and cooked over medium heat with constant whisking until the mixture thickens into a creamy base. Salt is stirred in to season, and frozen peas are added last to heat through thoroughly without overcooking. The resulting creamed peas have a velvety texture from the thickened sauce, balanced by the sweet and tender peas.
These creamed peas can be served with a variety of main dishes, especially roasted or grilled meats, adding a soft-textured vegetable side with subtle buttery flavor. Seasonings like pepper or herbs can be adjusted to taste if desired.
