Peas and Carrots
It doesn't get much more boring sounding than frozen peas and carrots, however, add some garlic and butter, and now we're talking.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- ¼ cup butter divided
- ½ small yellow onion chopped very small, about 1/2 cup worth
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 12-16 ounces frozen peas and carrots
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt adjust to taste
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper adjust to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh Italian parsley chopped
Instructions
- In a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and the frozen peas and carrots. Stir to coat and lower heat to medium. Continue cooking and stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are warm and the peas are puffy and bright green, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add the remaining butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Stir to melt. Taste and adjust salt and pepper, as needed. Sprinkle with parsley and top with additional butter, if desired before serving.
