A comforting and creamy dish featuring ham and peas, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Ensure the butter doesn't brown to maintain a light flavor.
Add the chopped green onion and parsley, cooking until fragrant.
Stir constantly to avoid burning the herbs.
Stir in the flour until it forms a smooth paste.
Cook the roux for a minute to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream, ensuring no lumps form.
Add the liquids slowly while whisking to achieve a smooth sauce.
Add the diced ham and cooked peas, stirring to combine.
Ensure the ham and peas are evenly distributed in the sauce.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Taste the sauce before adding salt, as ham can be salty.
Serve the creamy mixture over your choice of rice, toast, or biscuits.
Garnish with additional parsley for a fresh touch.
