Ingredients

1 pkg (10 oz/280 g) frozen peas
1 small yellow onion, cut into thin wedges
1 tbsp (15 mL) butter or margarine
1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped drained canned pimientos
1/4 tsp (1 mL) dried dill weed
1/8 tsp (0.5 mL) EACH salt and black pepper

Directions

  • Team this colourful pea-and-pimiento combo with roast chicken or beef.

    • In a medium-size saucepan, bring 1/2 inch (2.5 cm) of water to a boil over high heat. Add the peas and onion. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, for 5 minutes or until peas and onion are crisp-tender. Drain. Stir the butter, pimientos, dill weed, salt, and pepper into vegetables, tossing until butter is melted.
