Creamed Peas with Pearl Onions image

My mother made this EVERY Thanksgiving of my life and it is a staple on my table every year. I rarely make it at other times, although I would certainly like it. Kids aren't generally a fan but all my adult children and family love this.

1 jar(s) pearl onions (16oz) reserve the juice
1 bag(s) frozen green peas (2lb)
3 Tbsp each flour and butter
1 tsp each salt and pepper
1/2 c milk

Steps:

  • 1. Cook peas as directed until about 2/3 done. Drain and return to pot. Set aside. Melt 3 tblsp butter in sauce pan, add flour and let cook on medium heat just until it starts to get color. Add salt and pepper. Add milk and juice from jar of onions. Cook until thickens!
  • 2. Add onions to cream mixture, turn to low and let heat through. Don't mix too much as you want onions to retain shape. Stir cream sauce into peas.

NOTE:: you can make it all ahead except for baking, store in fridge for a day and put in oven from the fridge adding 15 minutes to covered cooking time.
