    Green Peas with Sauteed Onions are a fantastic side dish to spruce up this everyday veggie.

    Green Peas with Sautéed Onions

    My mother-in-law introduced me to simply adding sauteed onions to green peas years ago at my first Thanksgiving with my then boryfriend/now husband. Now, I don’t even like to eat peas without the onions. They add such a wonderful carmelized flavor to an otherwise boring side dish.

    All you have to do is chop a large onion and saute it in coconut oil or butter (or a little or both) on medium-low until the onion is nice and brown.

    Drain the peas after cooking them to your desired tenderness. Speaking of that. How do you like your peas cooked? I like them really cooked if I have my way. My mother-in-law cooks them a little al-dente.

    Ingredients

    1 lb of frozen green peas

    1 large onion, chopped

    2 tablespoon Coconut Oil or butter

    Salt and pepper

    How to Make Green Peas with Sautéed Onions

    Cook frozen peas for 20 minutes or until desired tenderness.

    Melt the coconut oil or butter in a sauce pan and cook chopped onions on medium-low heat until brown.

      Aw, this was an exceptionally good post. Taking a few minutes and actual effort
      to create a really good article… but what can I say…
      I put things off a lot and don’t seem to get anything done.
