Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Frozen green peas
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1.5 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 250 milliliters Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons White pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil and add the frozen green peas. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the peas are tender but still bright green.
Drain the peas and set aside. Reserve about 100 milliliters of the cooking water for later use.
In the same saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to create a roux. This will remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to ensure no lumps form. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and is smooth.
Stir in the cooked peas and mix until well combined. If the mixture feels too thick, add the reserved cooking water, a little at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.
Season with salt, white pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg (if using). Adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve warm as a side dish to accompany roasted meats, fish, or other traditional Norwegian dishes.
