Buttered Beets and Peas with Onions: Two UK-favorite sides in under 10 minutes image

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Time 14m

Yield 6 servings of each

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 tablespoons butter, divided
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 cans sliced beets, 15 ounces, drained
1 cup frozen pearl onions, defrosted
2 boxes frozen baby peas, 10 ounces each
Salt

Steps:

In a medium skillet over moderate heat melt 2 tablespoons butter, add parsley and sliced beets. Warm through, season with salt and serve.
In a second skillet, also over moderate heat, melt remaining butter, add onions and warm through. Add peas and cook 5 minutes. Season with salt and transfer to a serving dish.
If your stovetop is too crowded when you find your pocket-of-time to deal with the sides, feel free to use your microwave for either of these dishes, loosely covering beets or peas. Microwave on high, but check them every couple of minutes -- you're just warming them through and melting the butter.
