This is a very quick and tasty side dish to make that will go down well with the whole family. I love fresh peas just boiled in some water and served with a little butter and mint, but my son is not as keen, so I came up with this so he would eat them and enjoy them. You can make this with frozen or fresh peas just make sure you cook the peas first if fresh.

This is a wonderful sauce, we really enjoyed this one, it is rich and creamy and has an awesome flavour. I served this over chicken with mash and fresh vegetables it would also be lovely just over vegetables or mushrooms. It is very simple to make with a fantastic end result that is totally company worthy. If you would like to view the original please click here.
