Peas and Pearl Onions 🤢

I’m sorry, but I hate peas. It’s not only the taste, it’s also the texture. Don’t get me wrong I do eat them, they just have to be hidden in stews, soups or casseroles.

As a child my parents knew I hated peas, especially peas and carrots (I feel the same way about cooked carrots). And they would torment me at least once a month expecting me to eat them. I’d sit in the dark what seemed hours after dinner waiting for an opportunity to sneak them into the garbage disposal. I’m mean not only were they disgusting, they now were disgustingly cold🤮!

My dad loved peas with pearl onions. Sometimes he’d eat them with a butter sauce (pictured) and sometimes in a cream sauce. I prefer those little pearl onions in a martini, not cooked with peas. Don’t you agree:

Well here’s the recipe, like it or not. Serves frickin’ 10
It’s from McCormick (it would take more then a bunch of seasonings to get me to eat it 😬)

Ingredients:

1 package (16 ounces) frozen small whole onions  
1 package (16 ounces) frozen peas  
2 tablespoons butter  
1 teaspoon Dill Weed 
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder 
1/4 teaspoon salt  
1/8 teaspoon Black Pepper, Ground

Directions: 

Cook frozen onions in small amount of boiling water in large covered saucepan 2 minutes. Add peas; cook, covered, 2 to 3 minutes or just until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Drain well. Set aside. Melt butter in small saucepan on medium heat. Stir in dill weed, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Drizzle butter mixture over vegetables; toss gently to coat.
