This is a nice little southern dish-great comfort food. You may use homemade drop dumplings in place of the canned biscuits if you wish. Prep time will be longer with the fresh peas and dumplings.
Ingredients:
3 lbs fresh green peas (frozen is fine)
3 cups water
2 teaspoons salt
1 dash pepper
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated biscuits
onion salt
Directions:
1. Shell and wash peas; drain.
2. Combine water, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Add peas and simmer 5 minutes.
3. Melt butter in a heavy sauce pan over low heat. Add the flour and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add milk; cook over medium heat stirring constantly until thick and bubbly. Stir the sauce into the peas.
4. Top with biscuits and sprinkle lightly with onion salt. Cover and cook 15 minutes or until the biscuits are done.
