Background

I love making this braised peas with bacon throughout the years as it can be served as a main or side dish. During the holiday seasons I serve it as a side dish with roast poultry (I add fresh mint & lemon zest at Easter) – during the Summer I serve it as a main dish with pasta or mashed potatoes (again, with some added fresh herbs). It’s really easy, ready in 15 minutes and super yummy!

Ingredients

2 Tbsp olive oil
250g smoked bacon
1 bunch of spring onions
1 clove of garlic (minced)
500g frozen green peas
1 head of little gem
200 ml chicken stock
30g butter or dairy-free spread
2 tbps fresh herbs of your choice (such as mint, parsley, basil etc), optional

Instructions

Cut the bacon into small cubes, chop the onion and garlic. Shred the lettuce.
Heat the oil in a saucepan and fry the bacon for 4 minutes until crispy. Add the garlic and onion, then gently sauté for 3 minutes.
Add the peas and shredded lettuce leaves.
Pour in the stock, bring to the boil, then simmer for 5 minutes.
Stir in the butter and herbs (if used), then serve.
