I got a lot of complements on Thanksgiving when I served old fashion peas & carrots. I hadn't served this dish for a long time. Maybe the family was ready for something from the past.
I cooked a package of whole baby carrots in a little chicken broth for about 10 minutes then added a package of frozen peas to the pot with a generous amount of butter. Added salt & pepper to taste and cooked for an additional 5 minutes.
I cooked ahead of time and reheated when rest of dinner was ready to serve. I think this allowed the flavors to further develop.
This is a great idea.
And how about a broccoli casserole bake instead of the potatoes, or make the broccoli include potatoes!
