Hungarian Style Peas (Borsofozelek)
Ingredients
- 1/2 large onion diced (about a cup)
- 2 cups frozen peas
- 1 cup water or broth I used vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- salt and pepper to taste
- olive oil not needed if you steam/saute the onions
- red pepper flake optional if using hot paprika
- 1 teaspoon paprika sweet, smoky or hot as you like
Instructions
- In a large skillet or sauce pan, heat some olive oil with a pinch of red pepper flake and saute the onions until they begin to change color.
- Add the peas and broth. Season with salt, pepper and paprika.
- Cook until the peas are almost the way you like them.
- Mix the flour and milk together into a slurry and stir it into the vegetables.
- Continue to cook until the sauce thickens.
- Adjust the seasoning to suit.
Notes
I like this best over toast or fried potatoes. There's always a fried egg, and sometimes there's some sausage. This is a great meal on nights when you don't feel like cooking.
