These creamed canned peas have a great savory flavor from onion powder, roasted granulated garlic and dried thyme. A little bit of Hungarian paprika adds richness without overpowering the flavor of the sweet peas themselves. You can serve this side dish with anything from beef to chicken; I personally love it with meatloaf and potatoes!
My ingredient notes:
- The rich umami flavor of Hungarian paprika provides a great balance to the natural sweetness of the peas. (I tested this recipe with smoked paprika as well but the smokiness clashed with the flavor of the peas, in my opinion.)
- I used roasted granulated garlic for its intense flavor and it worked really well in this recipe. But, if you don't have it on hand, you can use regular garlic powder instead.
