Questions about Peas and carrots
How do you cook peas and carrots from frozen?
Add them straight to boiling water and simmer for about 4–6 minutes, then drain well. For a firmer texture, steam them for 5–7 minutes instead.
What can you make with peas and carrots?
Stir them into vegetable soup, shepherd’s pie filling or a pilaf, or fold them through fried rice near the end so they warm without turning mushy.
What should you season peas and carrots with?
Butter or olive oil, black pepper and a little salt work well; mint, parsley or a pinch of curry powder gives the mixture a more distinctive flavour.
How long do cooked peas and carrots keep in the fridge?
Cool them promptly, refrigerate in a covered container and eat within two days. Reheat until steaming hot, and only reheat them once.
Can you use canned peas and carrots instead of frozen?
Yes. Drain and rinse them, then add them near the end of cooking; they are already soft, so prolonged simmering can make them mushy.
