11423 Herbed Peas and Carrots 30 mins 30 mins 8 servings Fri Jan 25 09:28:00 -0800 2008 Wed Mar 05 17:07:16 -0800 2008 Easy American CHOW http://www.chow.com/recipes/11423 Thu, 06 Mar 2008 01:07:16 GMT A classic side dish done right This classic side dish is so easy, there's no reason not to make it yourself. And done right, it's got loads more flavor than the prepackaged version from the store. No TV dinner or other midcentury American meal would be complete without the addition of peas and carrots. Made sweet with shallots and butter, and livened up with a bit of parsley, this is a side dish worth reviving.

  • Heat butter and oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once butter foams, add carrots and shallots, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shallots are translucent and soft, about 10 minutes.
  • Add water and continue to cook until liquid evaporates and carrots are tender, about 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Add peas and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in parsley, season with salt and freshly ground pepper, and serve.
