peas & carrots

2014-05-22 a.o.

The great classic combination, nearly mandatory with leg of lamb. I usually add some onion as well. (Pic1)

This is a frequent flyer with many other dishes as well, including soups. Many of my mixed vegetable soups also have peas & carrots.

I sometimes combine the two, but most often I buy the frozen peas & carrots mix. They are also included in the classic vegetable mix together with green beans and corn. I sometimes use the store-bought metal cans.
