Title: PETITS POIS A LA FRANCAISE
Categories: Vegetables
Yield: 4 servings
1 lb Frozen Peas
1/2 Lettuce Heart
6 Spring Onions
8 fl Double Cream
1 oz Butter
Salt and Pepper
1/2 c Water
Shred the lettuce into little ribbons with a sharp
knife. Clean and shred the spring onions. Put the
butter into a good solid pan with a lid. Add the
onions and lettuce. If using fresh peas, add them and
about half a cup of water and cook gently for about 10
minutes. If using frozen, let the spring onions and
lettuce cook on their own for about 7 or 8 minutes,
then add the peas and cook for a further 2 or 3
minutes. Don't add water there is enough in the frozen
peas already.
Pour in the double cream, balance the seasoning and
bring to the boil, but don't let it cook for more than
a minute more. The peas will be green, firm and
surrounded in the most delicious and wicked sauce.
Serve either with plain grilled meat or as a dish on
its own in little bowls with good bread.
