Categories     Side Dish

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

16 oz. frozen green peas
2 Tablespoons butter
2 Tablespoons flour
1 cup half and half
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Cook peas according to package instructions. I prefer this method. In a small saucepan, boil a small amount of salted water (approximately 4 cups). Pour the boiling water over the frozen peas just until they are covered. You may not need all the water. Let sit for 3 to 5 minutes or until cooked.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt butter. Add flour and stir until smooth. Let cook for additional 30 seconds to remove raw flour taste.
  • Over medium heat, slowly add in half and half to the butter/flour mixture while constantly whisking. Bring to a boil while constantly whisking, and let boil for approximately three minutes until it thickens.
  • Add salt and pepper to the sauce.
  • Drain the peas, and add to the white sauce; stir. Cover with a lid and cook until the peas are hot and the sauce is creamy, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Taste, add more salt and pepper if needed.

WHITE BEAN PRIMAVERA



White Bean Primavera image

Pasta primavera, the creamy, vegetable-heavy pasta dish popularized in the 1980s at Le Cirque, in New York, is a little too fussy for a busy weeknight, but this reimagined white bean version comes together in less than a half-hour. The simple beans and vegetables feel fancy in their robe of cream, Parmesan, lemon juice and mustard. The dish is best with fresh spring vegetables, and it's also very flexible: Substitute spinach for the peas, a handful of halved cherry tomatoes for the carrot, and sugar snap peas for the asparagus. Drained jarred artichoke hearts wouldn't be out of place, either.

Categories     dinner, lunch, weeknight, beans, main course, side dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium to large zucchini, cut in half lengthwise and sliced into ½-inch thick semicircles
Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
8 ounces asparagus (about ½ large bunch) or green beans, or a mix, cut into 1-inch lengths
1 carrot, peeled, then shaved into strips with a peeler
5 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 cup fresh or frozen peas (no need to thaw)
2 scallions, green and white parts, sliced
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Black pepper
3 (15-ounce) cans butter beans or cannellini beans, drained
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon lemon juice (from about 1/2 large lemon), plus more to taste
2 ounces grated Parmesan (about ½ cup), plus more for serving
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup toasted slivered almonds or pine nuts
Fresh basil leaves, torn, for garnish

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a 12-inch skillet (preferably straight-sided) over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini and 1 teaspoon salt, and stir, then cook undisturbed in an even layer until one side is golden, about 4 minutes. (It's great if the butter browns, but decrease the heat if it threatens to get too dark.) Stir in the asparagus, carrot and garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in the peas, scallions and ½ teaspoon salt, then add the red-pepper flakes, oregano and a generous amount of black pepper. Cook, stirring, until the peas are warmed through and bright green, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the white beans and the cream, lower the heat to medium, and let the cream come to a simmer. Simmer for about 1 minute.
  • Turn off the heat and stir in the lemon juice, Parmesan and Dijon. Taste and season with more salt, pepper or lemon juice as needed. Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of warm water to the creamy beans to loosen as you like; the sauce will thicken as it cools. (You may need more water when you reheat any leftovers.) Serve in bowls topped with the nuts and a handful of basil leaves. Pass more Parmesan at the table.

Tips:

  • Fresh is best: For the best flavor, use fresh peas in season. If you can't find fresh peas, you can use frozen peas, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Cook the peas briefly: Overcooking will make the peas mushy. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Use a good quality cream: The cream is the key ingredient in this dish, so be sure to use a good quality cream that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Season to taste: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings to your liking. Add more salt and pepper to taste, or add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
  • Serve immediately: Creamed peas are best served immediately after they are made. They can be reheated, but they may not be as good as when they are first made.

Conclusion:

Creamed peas are a classic side dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. They are perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and creamy dish that everyone will love.
