  2. add the peas, some little pearl onions, two young heads of lettuce and a bouquet garni; season with salt and pepper;
  3. add a few spoonfuls of water; cover and let cook for a few minutes until the liquid has evaporated and the vegetables are cooked;
  4. add a generous knob of butter and serve.

Rustic-Style

  1. Cut an onion in half lengthwise; cut each half into thin slices; cut a few slices of bacon into small pieces;
  2. in a skillet, fry the bacon and onions;
  3. add the peas; sauté for a few minutes; season with salt and pepper.

English-Style

    Cook the peas in boiling water with fresh mint; drain and serve with a knob of butter.

  3. pour a little water over top; cover the pot and cook for a few minutes;

  5. serve, if desired, with poached eggs and a sprinkling of fresh cilantro
