SWEET PEAS WITH SHALLOTS AND GEM LETTUCE



Sweet Peas with Shallots and Gem Lettuce image

Caramelized shallots and sauteed lettuce enhance the sweetness of fresh peas in this warm spring salad.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Time 20m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 shallots, thinly sliced
3 1/2 cups fresh or frozen peas
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 heads Little Gem lettuce, trimmed and cut crosswise into 1-inch ribbons
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Add shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and tender, about 6 minutes. Add peas and 1 tablespoon water. Cook, stirring, until peas are tender and bright green, 4 to 6 minutes. Add butter and lettuce; cook, stirring, until lettuce is just wilted, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper; serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Select the freshest peas possible. Fresh peas have a sweet, tender flavor that is perfect for this dish. If you can't find fresh peas, you can use frozen peas, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Use shallots instead of onions. Shallots have a milder flavor than onions, which makes them a better choice for this dish. If you don't have shallots, you can use a small onion, but be sure to chop it very finely.
  • Cook the peas briefly. Overcooked peas will lose their flavor and texture. Cook them just until they are tender, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add herbs and spices to taste. This dish is simple, but you can add herbs and spices to taste. Some good options include thyme, basil, rosemary, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Serve immediately. Peas with shallots are best served immediately, while they are still hot and tender.

Conclusion:

Peas with shallots is a quick and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use fresh peas, and it is also a healthy and delicious dish. Whether you are serving it as a side dish or as a main course, peas with shallots is sure to please everyone at the table.
