Time 35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 small shallots, thinly sliced into rings
1 cup half-and-half
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
2 10-ounce packages frozen peas
1 5.2-ounce package soft cheese with garlic and herbs (such as Boursin)
1/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Toss the shallots with 1/4 cup half-and-half and a large pinch each of salt and black pepper in a small bowl. Set aside to soak 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the flour, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl. Heat about 1/4-inch vegetable oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, remove the shallots from the half-and-half, coat with the seasoned flour and fry, stirring, until crisp and golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain; sprinkle with salt. Add more oil to the skillet as needed between batches.
  • Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the peas and cook until tender, 5 to 7 minutes; drain. Add the remaining 3/4 cup half-and-half and the cheese to the pan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until creamy. Stir in the lemon zest, nutmeg and a few grinds of black pepper. Stir in the peas until well coated; season with salt and black pepper.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the parsley. Transfer to a serving dish and top with the fried shallots.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it would have been better if the sauce had been more flavorful. I also would have liked the shallots to be crispier.

I've never been a big fan of peas, but this recipe changed my mind. The creamed peas were creamy and flavorful, and the fried shallots added a nice crunch. I would definitely make this dish again.

This recipe was a bit too rich for my taste. The creamed peas were very heavy and the fried shallots were greasy. I think I would have enjoyed it more if the sauce had been a bit lighter.

This dish was a disappointment. The creamed peas were bland and the fried shallots were soggy. I won't be making this recipe again.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and the results are always delicious. I usually add a bit of chopped bacon to the peas for extra flavor.

The creamed peas were delicious, but the fried shallots were a bit too oily for my taste. Next time, I will try frying them in less oil.

These creamed peas with fried shallots were a delightful side dish! The shallots added a crispy texture and a nutty flavor that perfectly complemented the creamy peas. I also loved the hint of lemon zest in the sauce. It really brightened up the dish
