I found this recipe in a Best of International Cooking Book that I have been dying to try. A simple side dish that looks so delicious. Ingredients:
1 small head lettuce |
1 cup green peas (fresh or frozen) |
12 shallots or 1 small onion |
4 parsley sprigs |
1/2 cup butter |
6 tablespoons water |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon sugar |
Directions:
1. Remove outer leaves from lettuce. Cut off stem; cut lettuce head into quarters. Loosely tie lettuce quarters together with kitchen string; place in a large saucepan.
2. Add peas and shallots or onions.
3. Tie parsley sprigs together; place on top.
4. Dot with butter. Add water; sprinkle salt and sugar over top.
5. Cover and bring slowly to a boil. Stir carefully; cover and simmer 30 minutes, shaking pan occasionally.
6. Remove parsley; remove string from lettuce. Serve as an accompaniment to roasted meats.
