Peas In Cheddar Cream Sauce Recipes

PEAS IN CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Stir in the flour, salt and pepper until smooth. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Add the cheese; stir until melted. Stir in peas; cook 1-2 minutes longer or until heated through.

OLD-FASHIONED CREAMED PEAS

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.

PEAS IN THREE-CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat butter in a saucepan and saute garlic and shallots in a saucepan until translucent. Reduce heat to low and add cream and nutmeg. Allow to reduce by about 1/3.

Cheese will be salty so add salt only if needed after all cheeses are added.

PEAS AND MUSHROOMS IN CREAM

Steps:

• Meanwhile, cut the mushrooms into quarters.
• Heat the butter in a saucepan and add the shallots. Cook briefly, stirring. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, about five minutes. Add salt and pepper. Add the cream and cook, stirring, about one minute. Add the peas, stir to blend and serve immediately.
