HOW TO COOK CANNED PEAS ON THE STOVE
Description
Cooking canned peas on the stove begins by draining the packing liquid and adding fresh water to the peas in a saucepan. Butter is melted into the peas along with kosher salt, black pepper, a bit of sugar to enhance natural sweetness, and savory seasonings like onion powder, garlic powder, and a pinch of red pepper flakes for subtle heat. Heated over medium stir and occasional stirring coax a warm, flavorful side dish from canned peas, making them soft and well-coated in butter and spices. This method refreshes canned peas into a more vibrant, home-cooked accompaniment to meals.
Ingredients
- 16 oz green peas can
- 2 tablespoon butter unsalted
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar granulated white

Instructions
- Open the can of green peas and pour off the water in the can.
- Add a ½ cup of fresh water to the peas and pour the peas and water into a small sauce pan.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat on the stove top.
- Add the butter, salt, pepper, onion powder, sugar, garlic powder and red pepper flakes to the peas.
- Heat over medium heat stirring occasionally until the butter is melted and the peas are heated through
Notes

- Butter and spices enrich the flavor and texture without overpowering the peas.
