½ cup fresh-shucked spring peas
¾ cup black trumpet mushrooms
2 cups housemade Idaho® russet french fries

1. Heat 5 T. butter over medium-low heat until melted. Add flour; stir until smooth and light-golden/sandy color, 6-7 minutes.

For cheese curds:
In large stockpot over medium heat, warm milk to 180°F, or just below boiling. Slowly mix in lemon juice, 1 T. at a time, while stirring. Remove from heat; let rest 20 minutes. (Curds and whey should separate.) Scoop out curds; put in strainer or cheesecloth stretched over large bowl until whey drains off and only curds remain.
