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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Drain the peas and set aside. Reserve about 100 milliliters of the cooking water for later use.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Season with salt, white pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg (if using). Adjust seasoning to taste.
Step 7
Serve warm as a side dish to accompany roasted meats, fish, or other traditional Norwegian dishes.
