    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.

    Ingredients

    The complete list of ingredients with amounts are listed in the full recipe card below.

    1 lb of frozen green peas

    1 large onion, chopped

    2 tablespoon butter or coconut oil

    Salt and pepper

    How to Make Green Peas with Sautéed Onions

    Cook frozen peas for 20 minutes or until desired tenderness.

    Melt the 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.

        Yes, im an idiot, but some of us barely cook. So, when you say cook the peas, exactly what do you do? Boiling water, simmer, not sure but I think there is water involved.
