    Poached Eggs in Butter w/peas

    4 cups (1 L) water
    1/4 cup (60 ml) distilled vinegar
    4-6 eggs
    3 cups (750 ml) frozen peas, cooked according
    ...to package directions and drained
    6 Tablespoons (90 ml) butter
    2 Tablespoons (30 ml) all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup (125 ml) heavy cream
    salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
    2 Tablespoons (30 ml) capers, drained
    3 Tablesoons (45 ml) dry white wine

    Combine the water and vinegar in a wide, shallow pot or skillet
    and bring to a simmer - do not boil.
    Break each egg into a teacup and gently slide into the simmering
    water. Poach gently until the white is firm and the yolk is still
    runny, about 3 minutes.
    Remove with a slotted spoon and keep in a separate pot of warm
    water.
    Rub the peas through a strainer or process in an electric blender/
    food processor until almost smooth.
    Melt 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of the butter in a saucepan over moderate
    heat and stir in the flour.
    Cook, stirring frequently, until it is browned.
    Stir in the pureed peas, cream, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil,
    stirring frequently.
    Spoon the pea mixture onto a serving platter or individual serving
    plates and top with the poached eggs.
    Meanwhile, heat the remaining butter in a small saucepan over
    moderate heat until it turns dark brown.
    Stir in the wine, capers, salt, and pepper, cook for 1 minute, and spoon
    over the eggs.
    Serves 4 to 6.
