A pure Cajun dish. Sweet Peas in a Roux. I had this every week of my life growing up at Mom’s house in South Louisiana. Still have it regularly. Great as a side dish (alone or served over rice) alongside any fried, baked, or grilled meat, poultry, or fish.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons roux, cajun style
2 (15 ounce) cans sweet peas, with liquid
3/4 cup onion, diced fine
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/2 teaspoon cajun seasoning
Directions:
1. Begin with the roux in a 3 quart pot. Melt the roux if it's store bought. Add all other ingredients. Bring to rolling simmer. Simmer for about 25 minutes. Will form a thick sauce. Serve.
