Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs. of peas , tiny fresh are best - but i've used frozen to some success
  • a dozen pearl onions, peeled (a pain)
  • 3 sprigs of fresh thyme
  • 1 1/2 tsp of sugar
  • 1/4 tsp of salt
  • 1/8 tsp of white pepper (i use black , i don'tsp usually have white pepper hanging around)

Directions:

  1. In a sauce pan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter.
  2. Add the shredded lettuce, top with 2 lbs. of tiny peas, onions, thyme and seasonings.
  3. Mix well.
  4. Cover tightly and cook on the barest of simmers, very low heat.
  5. The moisture from the lettuce should be sufficient liquid to cook the peas. However you may find it necessary to add a spoonful of water to keep anything from sticking.
  6. Fresh peas will take at least 30 to 40 minutes to be tender. I do the frozen in about 20 (but then I par blanch the onions so they are fork tender when cooking with the peas) A rock hard onion is awful with this dish.
  7. At the end of cooking stir in the remaining two tablespoons of butter, taste for salt and pepper and serve to the delight of your guests.
