Instructions:
- Begin by melting the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. The butter adds a rich and creamy flavor to the dish, enhancing its overall taste.
- Once the butter is melted, add the sliced mushrooms and finely chopped onions to the saucepan. These aromatic ingredients create a savory base for the peas, infusing them with delicious flavors.
- Saute the mushrooms and onions for about 2-3 minutes, or until they become tender and fragrant. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Next, add the peas to the saucepan. Fresh or frozen peas both work well in this recipe, so use whichever you prefer or have on hand. Peas are not only nutritious but also add a vibrant pop of color to the dish.
- Pour in the water and sprinkle the salt over the peas. The water helps to create a light sauce that coats the peas, while the salt enhances their natural sweetness and balances the flavors.
- Stir the ingredients together gently to combine. Allow the peas to simmer in the saucepan for about 2-3 minutes, or until they are heated through and tender. Be careful not to overcook them, as you want them to remain bright green and slightly crisp.
- Once the peas are cooked to perfection, remove the saucepan from the heat. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt if desired.
- Serve the French Style Peas hot as a side dish alongside your favorite main course. They pair wonderfully with grilled chicken, roasted fish, or steak. Garnish with fresh herbs such as parsley or chives for a touch of freshness and color.
- Enjoy the delightful flavors of French cuisine with every forkful of these tender and flavorful peas. Bon appétit!
