Bright green and festive for Easter, this side dish has a slightly sweet flavor everyone will favor. Water chestnuts add a nice crunch. A friend shared this tasty recipe, pens Pat Walter from Pine Island, Minnesota. It's a different way to present peas. Ingredients:
2 cans (8 ounces each) sliced water chestnuts, drained |
2 tablespoons chopped onion |
1/4 cup butter, cubed |
2 teaspoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup milk |
8 cups frozen peas, thawed |
2 cups shredded lettuce |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, saute water chestnuts and onion in butter until onion is tender. Stir in the flour, sugar and salt until blended. Gradually add milk; stir in peas. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 3-5 minutes or until peas are tender and sauce is slightly thickened. Add lettuce; cook until lettuce is wilted. Yield: 12-14 servings.
