Green Pea Sauce

This green pea sauce adds a very nice flavor to mashed potatoes, and the combination goes very well along with steak. To reduce the amount of fat in the sauce I like to use evaporated milk. You can use cream instead, but I think the lower-fat-version is just as tasty!

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Warm the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the onion, and cook until nearly tender. Stir in the garlic, and cook for a few seconds, until fragrant. Pour in peas, and stir to thaw. Pour in the vegetable stock and evaporated milk. Turn heat to low, cover, and cook for 5 minutes. Once the peas have cooked, pour them into a blender and puree until smooth.

Step 2

Pour the pureed sauce back into the skillet, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer over low heat until the sauce reaches desired consistency.
