Braised Lettuce & Peas, French Style
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 large or 2 small shallots , finely diced
- Head of one lettuce , Iceburg, Butter or 2 Little Gems work well, cut into strips
- 1 cup fresh peas (frozen are fine!)
- splash white wine
- teaspoon of marigold stock powder
- 1 tbs olive oil
- 1 teaspoon butter (leave out to make this vegan)
- Salt & Pepper
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, sautee the onion in the olive oil until translucent
- Add in the lettuce and splash of wine.
- Let this all cook down with the lid on for around 6-7 minutes, the lettuce will give off quite a lot of water.
- Add in the peas and the stock powder, plus butter if using.
- Cook for a further 5 -7 minutes, leaving the lid off to reduce the liquid so you have a nice silky 'sauce'
- Season to taste with salt & pepper.
Notes
If you grow your own peas and they have become a bit big or old, cook them for longer than 5 minutes- equally delicious!
