Peas and Onions with Toasted Almonds
Make your side of peas more exciting with butter, almonds, and onions!
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 8-12 ounces diced white onion
- ½ cup sherry or dry white wine
- 16 ounces frozen petite peas
- ½ cup sliced or slivered almonds
Instructions
- Put the almonds on a small baking sheet or aluminum foil fashioned into a baking tray, and toast for 10-12 minutes at 400 degrees. Don't let them burn, keep an eye on them.
- In a medium saute pan over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Add onions and stir to coat with butter. Sprinkle with salt and let cook for 10 minutes until browning nicely. Stir occasionally.
- Add the sherry or wine and scrape up the delicious brown bits from the bottom of the pan (the fond, if you want to use cooking lingo). Stir in the frozen peas and cook for 3-5 more minutes.
- Once the peas are all heated through, remove pan from heat and stir in toasted almonds. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
