Can I serve braised lettuce, peas, and spring onions as a main dish?

Braised lettuce is usually served as a side dish, but you can also serve it as a light main dish, for example with some cooked rice or quinoa.

Can I make braised lettuce in advance and reheat it?

Braised lettuce tastes best when prepared fresh and served immediately. Reheating braised lettuce can affect the texture and flavor, making it a bit limp.

Dip the peas in boiling water and drain them as soon as the water starts boiling again. Shock them in ice-cold water.

Remove the outer leaves of the lettuce heads (save them to make soup). Cut the lettuce hearts into 4 and sauté them until golden brown on all sides over fairly high heat in a large frying pan with the melted butter. Season them and remove from the pan.

Trim the spring onions a bit and sauté them until golden brown in the same pan, adding sunflower oil. Add the drained peas, season, mix for 1 min., and remove from heat. Put the lettuce hearts back in the frying pan.

Drizzle with lemon juice and serve warm as a side dish with chicken, grilled fish, ...
