Braised Peas And Scallions Recipes

BRAISED PEAS WITH SCALLIONS AND LETTUCE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add about 1 tablespoon olive oil and the sliced scallions. Cook for a few minutes, or until the scallions are softened. Meanwhile, slice the lettuce leaves, saving a few tender inner leaves to add at the end. Turn the heat up and add the peas, sliced lettuce, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute, then sprinkle in the flour and stir until everything is lightly coated. Slowly pour in the stock, then cover and turn the heat up to high. Cook for 4 minutes or until the peas are tender.
• Taste and add another pinch of salt or pepper if needed. Pick the mint leaves, finely chop, and sprinkle into the pan. Add the lemon juice. Slice the reserved lettuce leaves, then scatter those on top and serve immediately with a tiny drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Makes 8 servings.

QUICK-BRAISED PEAS, LETTUCE & SCALLIONS

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-low heat. Add the scallions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, 2 to 3 minutes (don't let them brown). Increase the heat to medium, add the peas and lettuce and continue to cook, tossing with tongs, until the lettuce begins to wilt, 2 minutes more. Add the broth and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium low, cover, and simmer until the peas are just tender, 5 to 8 minutes for fresh peas, 3 to 4 minutes for frozen. Remove the lid and add the mint and crème fraîche. Stir well and simmer 2 minutes more to meld the flavors. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.

BRAISED LETTUCE WITH PEAS

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large sauté pan with a lid. Fry the onion gently for about 5 mins, until softened. Meanwhile, pull any damaged or coarse outer leaves from the lettuces and trim the bases. Cut the lettuces in half lengthways, through the base.
• Place the lettuce cut-side up on top of the onions and cook for half a minute, then turn over and cook for another 30 secs. Pour over the stock and lightly season. Put the lid on the pan, reduce the heat to the minimum and cook for 10 mins.
• With a slotted spoon, lift the lettuces out and put into a sieve over a bowl. Raise the heat under the pan and boil the juices until reduced by half. Add the cream or crème fraîche and petits pois and boil for 1 min until heated through. Arrange lettuces in a serving dish and pour over the pea-and-cream sauce.
