Ingredients For creamed peas

  • 2 1/2 Tbsp
    butter
  • 1/3 c
    shallots, finely chopped
  • 1 lg
    clove garlic, pressed
  • 2 Tbsp
    unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 c
    cold half-and-half
  • 1/3 c
    low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tsp
    granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp
    fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 1/4 tsp
    ground himalayan sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp

How To Make creamed peas

  • 1
    In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, add butter. When it’s melted and starts sizzling, add shallots and quickly sauté them for 1 minute or until soft.
  • 2
    Add pressed garlic and sauté for only 30 seconds. Add flour and whisk continuously for 2 minutes to remove the raw taste from it – this will also help to thicken the sauce.
  • 3
    Slowly pour in half-and-half and continue whisking for a couple of minutes as well or until the mixture is fairly smooth. Pour in the chicken broth and keep whisking.
  • 4
    As the sauce starts to thicken slowly, add sugar, fresh chopped thyme, sea salt and white pepper. Continue whisking for another minute or so or until the sauce has a beautiful consistency without turning into a thick gravy.
  • 5
    Add the peas and stir until everything is well blended, reduce the heat to medium low and medium, and cook for 5 minutes, enough to warm up the peas. When the time is up, taste and adjust if necessary and serve immediately.
