  I added frozen baby broad beans, but blanched and peeled them first (well worth the trouble), I have also tried it adding asparagus spears and green beans (you can also use frozen) and sprinkle with fresh herbs of your choice before serving

  I have done this dish a couple of times, but changed the method. I don't bother pre-cooking the onions & peas, just brown the onions off, add the peas and just a little bit of veggie stock (enough to saute the peas) and then drain any excess liquid once the pease are cooked and bung in the lettuce. Much less washing up!

  I don't really like peas but enjoyed this very much. I cooked the peas in the microwave, used a chopped onion and sauted in oil and butter until soft then added the peas to warm through, then the lettuce. Nice for a change.

  speedy and tasty, served it with fish so added a squeeze of lemon & it didn't need a separate sauce. Will try it with shredded fennel through it too as an alternative soon.

  The addition of 70g of pancetta and a small clove of garlic made this a whole lot better than the basic recipe! I was unable to find pearl onins so used finely chopped shallots instead. Make sure you get good quality lettuce.
