Инструкции

  1. Remove the butter from the refrigerator and allow it to soften slightly.
  2. Shell the peas and place them in a Dutch oven.
  3. Trim the green tops from the onions, leaving the bulb and about 1 inch of the stem. Peel and chop the carrot.
  4. Rinse and dry the lettuce hearts. Cut them into large strips.
  5. Add in the onions, carrot, and lettuce to the pan with the peas. Sprinkle with the sugar and season with salt and pepper. Mix.
  6. Cut the butter into small pcs and sprinkle proportionately over peas. Mix with your hands to coat the peas and lettuce with the softened butter. Add in thyme.
  7. Cover the pan and place over medium heat for about 20 min.
  8. Meanwhile, cut the bacon into small lardons (strips of fat) about 1- by 1/4-inch, removing any rind. Fill a small saucepan with water, bring to a boil and blanch the bacon for about 1 minute. Drain.
  9. When the peas have cooked, add in the blanched bacon and toss to mix thoroughly. The lettuce leaves will have totally "melted," giving a velvety sweetness to the peas.
  10. This recipe serves 4.
  11. Comments: Extremely popular during the seventeenth century, sweet peas are still one of the jewels of Ile-de-France gardens. Those from Saint-Germain were once so famous which this village on the outskirts of Paris gave its name to many different recipes which featured peas. This dish is a flavorful combination of two different classics; petits pois a la bonne femme (prepared with chunks of bacon), and a la francaise (with hearts of lettuce).
