Salad with peas

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 1 romaine lettuce or lettuce
• 1 m.-sized onion(s)
• 1 clove(s) garlic
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 100 g peas, frozen
• 2 tbsp parsley
• 500 ml vegetable stock
• 1 salt and pepper
• nutmeg
• 1 flour, for dusting

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 35 minutes

Wash and trim the romaine lettuce. Cut the leaves down to the stems (about 300g leaves and 100g stems). Cut the stems into pieces, then tear the leaves into pieces. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Heat the oil and sauté the onion and garlic until translucent. Add the lettuce stems, followed a little later by the lettuce leaves, and finally the frozen green peas. Roughly chop the parsley, lightly dust with flour, and add it as well. Add the vegetable stock, simmer gently until softened, and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Tip: This salad vegetable makes a great side dish and tastes wonderful with hash browns or fried potatoes. The same ingredients (or leftovers), topped up with vegetable stock and cream, and pureed, make a delicious soup.
