Break out that jar of bacon fat ya got in the fridge for this one, cuz we're startin' with a roux! I would omit the Cajun seasonings, I would also use pearl onions, the non marinated type, fresh if you can find them. Read more Also use white pepper, it is hotter so use to taste. Southern styled creamed petit pois or green peas, with pearl onions, cooked in a light roux made with bacon drippings. Mary, Mary | Deep South Dish See less
