Simply Sauteed Green Peas & Onions

Tiny green peas are simplicity at it's finest (& most tasty!).  Since my entree was meatloaf, mashed potatoes and green peas are mandatory sides dishes!  Here's a simple saute recipe that I made.  Once again, you can make it  your own by omitting the onion, or adding mushrooms.

Servings: about 4

 (easily doubled for more servings)

Ingredients:

1 16-ounce package frozen green peas

½ onion, finely chopped

3 Tablespoons butter

1/3 cup chicken broth

Salt & pepper to taste

Directions:

Heat 2 Tablespoons of the butter in a sauté pan over medium heat.  When the butter is melted, add the onions.  Saute the onions about 5 minutes until they begin to caramelize.

Add the peas and chicken stock and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat, stirring often.  Cook about 10-15 minutes until stock is reduced and peas are hot (you don’t to overcook them & have mushy peas).

Add remaining Tablespoon of butter and salt & pepper to taste.

Yummy!
