Late spring is a perfect moment in the life of a vegetable: It's tender, sweet, flavorful, and juicy. Prepare this dish with the freshest vegetables, particularly spring onions, which look like large green onions. The fresh lettuce melts gently into the peas and carrots, a true celebration of the season. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided |
2 1/2 cups (1/4-inch) slices carrot |
1/2 cup sliced spring onion, trimmed and peeled |
1/2 cup sliced shallots |
1/2 teaspoon sea salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1/2 cup water |
2 cups shelled english green peas (about 2 pounds unshelled green peas) |
8 bibb lettuce leaves (about 1/4 pound) |
Directions:
1. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add carrot, sliced onion, shallots, sea salt, and ground black pepper, stirring to combine. Cover and cook 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Add water and peas; place lettuce leaves on top of mixture. Cover and cook 5 minutes or until peas are tender. Remove from heat; gently stir in 1 tablespoon butter.
