Garden Peas and Mushrooms

Its August and the Victory Garden is still producing well. Its fabulous to walk out the back door and have wonderfully fresh vegetables on hand, straight from natures supermarket. Except for the mushroom, this simple side dish all comes from my veggie patch. I would encourage anyone to try and grow your own...even if its a tomato plant or two...or a selection of herbs on your windowsill.

The recipe is from the Aug 1946 "Better Homes and Gardens" Magazine..and takes your garden peas to a tasty new level

1/4 cup chopped onion

1/4 cup sliced mushrooms

1/4 cup butter or fortified margarine

2 cups fresh peas, cooked

2 tablespoons chopped pimiento 

Salt and pepper

• Sauté onion and mushrooms in butter until onion is golden. 
• Add peas and pimiento. 
• Season to taste. 
• Serve hot. 
• Serves 6.
