DAD'S CREAMED PEAS & PEARL ONIONS
While I was growing up, it was our family tradition to make creamed peas with pearl onions for every Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. My dad was not a happy camper if he didn't see this dish on the table. It was his favorite! I made it for my own family while our kids were growing up, and now my daughter makes this dish for her family. -Nancy Heishman, Las Vegas, Nevada

Steps:
- Blanch onions in large saucepan of boiling salted water 5 minutes. Drain, cool, and peel onions.
- Sauté onions and guanciale in large skillet over medium heat until fat is rendered, guanciale is golden, and onions are brown in spots, about 10 minutes. Add peas; heat through. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl.
Tips:
- Use fresh peas. Fresh peas have a sweeter flavor and are more tender than frozen or canned peas.
- If you don't have fresh peas, you can use frozen or canned peas. Just be sure to thaw frozen peas before using them.
- Use a good quality onion. The onion is one of the main ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality onion.
- Don't overcook the peas. Peas only take a few minutes to cook, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked peas will be mushy and lose their flavor.
- Season the peas to taste. Salt and pepper are the basic seasonings for peas, but you can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Serve the peas immediately. Peas are best served immediately after they are cooked.
