Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons dairy-free buttery spread or sticks
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups plain coconut milk beverage (can sub another milk beverage; see Tips in post above)
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (14- to 16-ounce) bag frozen pearl onions
  • 1 (12- to 16-ounce) bag frozen peas (see Tips in post above)
Instructions
  1. Melt the buttery spread in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
  2. Whisk in the flour until blended.
  3. Once the mixture is bubbling, cook for 2 minutes, stirring often.
  4. Slowly whisk in the milk beverage, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  5. Increase the heat to medium and cook until thick and bubbly, stirring frequently. This will take approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
  6. Stir in the peas and onions and cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until hot.
  7. I prefer to add the vegetables while they are still frozen to help them retain their texture. This makes the final cooking time closer to 15 minutes. If you microwave the vegetables first, the cooking time will be closer to 5 minutes.
