Green Peas With Fresh Parsley and Garlic Butter Sauce

Submitted by COOKGIRl

"From Bon Appetit May 1998. Meant to be served alongside of rice or mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious sauce."

 

• Ready In: 7mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup unsalted butter
• 4 -5 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1 lb frozen green pea, thawed
• 1⁄4 cup vegetable broth, unsalted (homemade is best)
• 1⁄3 cup fresh curly-leaf parsley, chopped
• salt, to taste
• black pepper, to taste

directions

1. Melt the butter in a pan over medium-low heat and saute the garlic until highly fragrant, about 3 minutes.
2. Add the green peas and vegetable broth. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook the mixture until the peas are tender but not shriveled, about 4 minutes total.
3. Stir in the parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

We thought these were very good with a delightful garlic/butter flavor that we really enjoyed. I cut this in half for the 2 of us and still had another 2 servings left over. I'll make this one again as Green peas are one of my favorites. thanks for sharing.

I made this with rice and I liked it. I used canned peas but everything else as listed. I did feel like it was missing something though I'm not sure what. I will try to make it with mashed potatoes next time. Thanks for sharing.

I will have to try making this again. Somehow it just didn't come out right last night, but it has a lot of potential. I just love the buttery/garlic sauce, although I did burn the butter a bit. And I used fresh peas from the farmers market, but they didn't have much flavor! :( Next time I will use frozen peas. I look forward to trying this recipe again.
