PETITS POIS à LA FRANçAISE - FRENCH STYLE PEAS
A delicious combination of peas, onions and lettuce which are gently poached in a buttery sauce with crème fraiche and vegetable stock; this classic French recipe is a wonderful way to serve tender little peas, petits pois. This recipe makes a delightful accompaniment to any type of main meal, and adds a real splash of colour. I have stated fresh OR frozen peas in the recipe - frozen peas can be used to great effect out of season. In the absence of small silverskin onions, spring onions (green onions) can be used, making this a very versatile recipe to serve throughout the year. Cut back on the butter if you are on a low fat diet - the taste will be less rich, but still as delicious!

Steps:
- Gently heat the butter in a large saucepan and add the onions and lettuce. Cook over a medium heat for 5 minutes until the onions and lettuce soft but not coloured. If the pan gets too hot just add a little vegetable stock.
- Pour in the vegetable stock and add the caster sugar, bring to the boil and continue to cook on a fast boil for a further 3 minutes. Taste and season with a salt and black pepper.
- Add the fresh or frozen peas to the stock with the onions and lettuce. Cook over a low to medium heat for 10 minutes for the fresh peas or 5 minutes for the frozen peas - or until they are cooked through, but NOT mushy or too soft; they should still retain their vibrant green colour and have a "bite" to them.
- Just before the end of the cooking time - add the creme fraiche and gently mix; allow to heat through for about 1 to 2 minutes. Check the seasoning once more and adjust to taste.
- Serve immediately with the sprigs of fresh mint on top.

PEAS A LA FRANCAISE
I made this for Christmas dinner, and it was a hit! I got the recipe out of my taste of home Christmas holiday magazine. The recipe calls for fresh pearl onions but I changed it and used a bag of the frozen ones! Much easier!

- If not already cut, slice the bacon into relatively thin slices. Peel the outer layer off the spring onions and trim the end. Cut the white and light green part into slices. If using pearl onions, peel and cut in half or quarters, depending on size.
- Warm the butter in a small pan/pot with a lid over a medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook a couple minutes, stirring regularly, but don't let it brown. Add the onion and cook a minute more to gently soften the onion.
- Add the peas and stock, cover the pan with the lid and reduce the heat to a simmer. Leave the peas to cook for around 10-15 minutes so that the liquid absorbs and the peas are cooked through. If the liquid is gone quickly, add a little more.
- Once the peas are cooked, add the salt, pepper and sugar and stir through. Tear the lettuce leaves and place over the top of the peas, cover with the lid again and cook another minutes.
