Ingredients
  • * 2 cups of fresh English peas (Frozen will work, too. Just be sure to thaw first. Look for "petite" peas at the store.)
  • * 4 tablespoons of butter, divided
  • * green leaf lettuce (not Iceberg)
  • * milk or water if you wish
  • * 3 to 4 fresh mint leaves, minced
  • * juice of half a lemon
  • * salt and pepper to taste

Directions
  1. To begin, prepare the peas by shelling them from their pods or thawing them if you are using frozen peas.
  2. In a medium sized saucepan add enough milk to cover the bottom of the pan about 1/4 inch deep. **Water can be used in place of the milk.**
  3. Line the bottom of the pan with a single layer of lettuce leaves.
  4. It is okay if the leaves overlap.
  5. Add the peas and 1 tablespoon of butter.
  6. Cover the peas and butter with a second layer of lettuce leaves.
  7. Cook over low heat until the liquid begins to bubble.
  8. Continue cooking for another 5 to 10 minutes until peas are “crisp tender.”
  9. While the peas are cooking melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a separate saucepan.
  10. Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon.
  11. Add the mint, steamed peas and salt and pepper to taste.
