Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 8 ounces fresh pearl onions
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk 
  • 2 1/2 cups frozen peas
  • kosher salt and black pepper to taste

Instruction

  • Slice off the root ends of the pearl onions and drop them into boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Pinch the stem end and the peeled pearl onion will pop out. Set them aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium-low heat melt butter. Whisk in flour and continue whisking until the mixture is a light golden brown. Slowly whisk in milk and continue whisking until the mixture thickens slightly; 2-3 minutes.
  • Add peas and pearl onions (that were set aside). Simmer for 5-7 minutes or until the peas are tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
