This recipe was taken from the foodnetwork website (Paula Deen). It is really quite complicated, so be sure you have a pen and paper to make sure you are copying the directions exactly as needed. Here it is:
English Peas
Ingredients:
1/4 C (1/2 stick) butter
2 cans (14 1/2 ounces) English Peas, drained
Directions:
Melt the butter in small pot and add the peas. Cook over medium heat until peas are warm.
Did you get that? I know it's kind of confusing, so let me summarize. First you melt the butter in the pot and then you add the peas. Or put another way...melt 1/2 a stick of butter in a pot and throw some peas in until they are warm.
The comments following this mind-blowing recipe are funny. Here are some highlights:
"For our neighborhood block party, I put the peas on bamboo skewers and grilled them outside, then served the melted butter in individual ramekins as a dipping sauce. What a treat. My neighbors are still talking about it!" pattipoopidoo
"Was I supposed to take the peas out of the can? Cause it didn't work when I put the cans and packaged butter in the pot." jil504
"I tweaked this recipe when I made it the other night. Doubled the butter and left out the peas. It was delicious!" swedeboy
"This is very similar to my Can of Corn recipe, perhaps I could have my own show on Food Network!?" dyates_10047437
and of course I had to add my own personal review:
"I substituted Velveeta for the butter and jalapenos for the peas and poured it over tortilla chips. I call it English Nachos." ponytayl
If any of you bloggers make this, let me know how your tastebuds enjoyed this new and unique spin on peas!
