Quick braised lettuce & peas

Delicious. I used spring onions (halved) which I sauteed first, microwaved the peas while that was happening, then bunged the peas in with the shredded lettuce, added a bit of butter, stirred round for a couple of minutes until the lettuce had wilted, seasoned, and that was it! Took minutes, and made a real change. Will definitely be doing it again. I notice in other recipes mint is added, I think that would be good.

Lovely accompaniment, used shallots instead of pearl onions and 1 tbsp of salted lurpak light instead of oil. Also had the crushed new potatoes too!

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.

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.

I like how you can get so much out of simple ingredients. This is going to be a regular. Thanks Gordon

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.

Fantastic. Even lettuce-haters adored it!

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!

Superb side dish - great textures and plenty of flavour.

I have turned to this dish again and again - always produces the goods and everyone loves it - and so simple!
