Creamed Peas on Toast

March 6, 2018 By JL Fields

As a recipe box project, Gail Bellamy has been adapting some of her grandmother’s and great-grandmother’s comfort food recipes by updating the retro aspects to be more in line with today’s ingredient preferences.

A Comfort Food Classic: Creamed Peas on Toast
2018-03-06 08:33:24
This recipe is great for a quick lunch on a Spring day. I’ve substituted whole wheat bread for the white bread my grandmother always baked, and have adapted her white sauce recipe by making it with soymilk, unbleached flour, margarine and Golden Vegetable Broth dry seasoning mix.

Ingredients
  1. 2 tablespoons margarine
  2. 2 tablespoons unbleached flour
  3. 1 1/2 cup soymilk
  4. 2 teaspoon Golden Vegetable Broth dry seasoning mix (or 2 vegetable bouillon cubes)
  5. 2 cups green peas (fresh or frozen) or edamame, cooked
  6. As needed, toasted slices of whole wheat bread
Instructions
  1. In a saucepan, melt the margarine and stir in flour until it forms a roux. Add Golden Vegetable Broth and soymilk and simmer until mixture is thickened. If desired, add salt and pepper. Add warm peas and stir into cream sauce. Serve over whole wheat toast.
Notes
  1. You can use edamame instead of peas for an even more trendy version of this comfort food classic.

January 1, 2012 By admin

If you’ve just made a New Year’s resolution to eat more healthfully in 2012, The Soyfoods Council can help. Soyfoods offer protein, and may help protect against heart disease. They’re low in saturated fat, high in polyunsaturated fat and provide essential omega-3 fatty acids. And yes, they have a direct cholesterol-lowering effect and contain isoflavones that may directly improve the health of the arteries as well.  But that’s not why you’ll want to include them in your diet this year.  Simply put, they fit your active lifestyle. Soyfoods are convenient and versatile ingredients….
