Peas And Corn With Thyme Butter Recipes

PEAS AND CORN WITH THYME BUTTER

Steps:

• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook bacon over medium heat, stirring frequently, until crisp. Remove bacon with slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Reserve 1 tablespoon drippings in skillet.
• Add peas, corn and water to bacon drippings in skillet. Cover; cook over medium heat 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and water has evaporated.
• Stir in thyme and butter until vegetables are coated. Spoon into serving bowl. Sprinkle with bacon.

PEAS AND CORN

Steps:

• Place the peas and corn in a microwave safe casserole dish. Sprinkle the vegetables with 1/4 cup water.
• Cover the casserole with plastic wrap or the lid, pull back one corner to vent, and microwave the vegetables on high for 6 minutes. Stir the vegetables gently. Then microwave the peas and corn, uncovered, for 2 minutes longer.
• Drain the vegetables well and return them to the casserole dish. Add the butter and seasonings to the vegetables. Stir gently, then microwave, uncovered, for one minute longer, or until the butter is melted and the vegetables are hot. Let stand for 2 minutes on a solid surface so the heat distributes evenly, stir gently, and serve immediately.
