    French Peas
    Low Fat and Loving It

    Servings: 4

    1 small head Boston lettuce
    1/4 cup water
    4 to 6 small white onions peeled, or 1/2 yellow onion, cut into eighths
    2 pounds unshelled peas
    1 sprig parsley with stem
    pinch dried thyme
    1 teaspoon sugar
    4 teaspoons stick margarine, each cut in half

    Rinse the lettuce well, and use the leaves to line a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add the water. Cut a cross in the stem end of each white onion to ensure even cooking.

    Place the onions in a small saucepan with cold water, bring to a boil, and blanch 5 to 6 minutes. Drain and put the onions in the pan wit the lettuce leaves.

    Shell the peas and add them to the saucepan. Add the parsley, thyme, sugar and the pieces of butter. Cover, bring to a boil, lower heat slightly and cook briskly for 8 to 10 minutes. Serve immediately.

    NOTE: This recipe is not for the lazy. You must buy real fresh peas and shell them yourself. Do not be tempted to cheat with frozen or canned peas.
