Lemony Peas 'n Cheese

Those who have been following in bitten, and close friends,  will know about my love of peas. And since my Big Pea Purchase earlier this week, I’ve been having peas for supper everynight. Just been playing around making interesting dishes, rather than the boring method of just sticking them in a bowl and heating them in the microwave, though I don’t mind that either Yes….I love peas

The Recipe

20g butter

50g finely chopped Onion

1 tsp chopped Garlic

1 ½ cups frozen Peas

Salt & Pepper

60ml White Wine

Zest and juice of 1 Lemon

30 g Feta

1 Tbsp Parmesan

Sprig of Thyme

 

Melt Butter, add onion, fry until it starts to brown, add the garlic, fry about another minute.

Add wine, reduce until almost gone and then add the lemon juice. Now add the peas and thyme. Stir until the peas have defrosted.

Remove from heat and stir in Feta, Parmesan and zest.

Season to taste & serve.

 

 

• I had it as a main course, just like that, but fry up some bacon and add the bacon and peas to some cooked rice.

• Or, after you’ve reduced it a bit once you’ve added the lemon juice….before you add the peas, add about 1/2 cup of thick cream and then carry on, sefve it over some pasta (the fried bacon would work here too)

• This recipe will serve 1 as a main course, 2 as a side dish.

Cooking: From Pantry to Plate

 “The ambition of every good cook must be to make something very good with the fewest possible ingredients.” Urbain Dubois 

 

Stuck with ingredients in your fridge, freezer or pantry? Want simple but delicious meals, quick and easy to prepare? Have a recipe you’ve been trying, but it just does not want to work?

Send me a list of ingredients, the failed recipe, or any questions and I will prepare someone’s dish at least once a week, developing a recipe or figuring out what’s wrong with the one you have. I’ll answer the questions as best I can or send you a link that might help.

Just a few things.

The point is to create simple, easy to prepare meals for those with no time or little confidence in the kitchen. Try to keep the mystery ingredient list below 10 and to easy to find ingredients, things you have in your house. I won’t say no to the odd challenge though
