Notes

How to Store Leftovers

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. Do not refreeze them. Just make enough that you can consume in four days.

Variations

Add other spices like garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
Add fresh herbs like thyme, chives, parsley, or dill.
Use a compound butter like roasted garlic butter or chive butter.
Add heavy cream at the very end to make creamed peas and pearl onions. You can also make a roux (mixture of flour and butter) and make a cream sauce.
Use different vegetables like carrots, corn or Brussels sprouts.
Use olive oil instead of butter.
