Easy Creamy Peas Recipe Ingredients

Green Peas

This green pea dish is easy and simple to make. The main ingredient is peas of course. Green peas are low in fat but high in everything else. Many people think green peas are just a poor man’s meat or a cheap restaurant side dish that puts ‘green’ on your plate. However, peas are really little powerhouses of nutrition that are a boon for your health and the whole planet.

Tahini

Tasty Tahini Cream Sauce Recipe is Easy to Make – This is a very simple and quick tahini cream sauce to make. The taste will vary depending on whether you have it sweet for porridge or a dessert or savory for your grain or vegetables. I use Kevala Organic Tahini to make my tahini cream sauce as it is very good tahini. I’m an enthusiastic eater of all sorts of seeds, but sesame seeds in the form of tahini and oil are favourites of mine.

I use this tahini cream dressing to add creaminess and flavour to this creamy pea recipe.

Ingredients

1/4 cup Tahini (sesame butter)
1/4-1/2 cup water (the reason there is such a variance in the water is that some tahini is thicker than others)

Additional Flavour Options

1 tsp lemon juice
Himalayan salt to taste
2 drops Light liquid stevia
1/2 tsp Braggs Seasoning
Spike Seasoning
1 clove Garlic finely chopped
1 - 2 tsp Light Miso
Herbs (basil, rosemary, thyme)

Instructions

Blend all ingredients together in a bowl with a fork.
It will make a thick sauce.
Add more water if you would like the sauce to be thinner.
Choose whether you want this sauce to be sweet or savory and which taste appeals to you from the additional flavour options and stir it into the sauce.
If you want it savoury, then choose which of the options above you would like. Most often I use miso. If you want it as a salad dressing, use lemon juice.
Use this tahini cream sauce on top of steamed vegetables or a grain like brown rice, or even as a salad dressing.

Notes

To flavour your Tahini use some of my favorite condiments: Himalayan salt, Braggs, or Spike Seasoning.
