Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

small knob butter
1 small onion , finely chopped
4 Little Gem lettuces
200ml fresh chicken stock
4 tbsp single cream or crème fraîche
500g bag frozen petits pois

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large sauté pan with a lid. Fry the onion gently for about 5 mins, until softened. Meanwhile, pull any damaged or coarse outer leaves from the lettuces and trim the bases. Cut the lettuces in half lengthways, through the base.
  • Place the lettuce cut-side up on top of the onions and cook for half a minute, then turn over and cook for another 30 secs. Pour over the stock and lightly season. Put the lid on the pan, reduce the heat to the minimum and cook for 10 mins.
  • With a slotted spoon, lift the lettuces out and put into a sieve over a bowl. Raise the heat under the pan and boil the juices until reduced by half. Add the cream or crème fraîche and petits pois and boil for 1 min until heated through. Arrange lettuces in a serving dish and pour over the pea-and-cream sauce.

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:

Season with salt and pepper; serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender green peas and lettuce for the best flavor. Look for peas that are plump and brightly colored, and lettuce that is crisp and free of blemishes.
  • Wash the peas and lettuce thoroughly before cooking. This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use a large skillet or wok to cook the peas and lettuce. This will help to ensure that the vegetables cook evenly.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat before adding the peas and lettuce. This will help to prevent the vegetables from sticking to the pan.
  • Stir the peas and lettuce frequently while cooking. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly and do not burn.
  • Season the peas and lettuce with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings to taste.
  • Serve the peas and lettuce immediately. This dish is best enjoyed fresh.
