Green Pea And Lettuce Stew Recipe

1 1/2 pints shelled peas.

2 cabbage lettuces sliced.

1 small onion sliced.

1 tablespoon water.

1 ounce butter.

The yolks of 2 eggs.

1 tablespoon cream.

1/4 teaspoon salt.

1/2 teaspoon white sugar.



Stew the peas, lettuces and onion very gently with the butter and water

for half an hour (three-quarters of an hour if the peas are not very

young). Add the sugar and salt, then stir in the yolks of eggs and

cream; continue stirring for a minute until it all thickens (but on no

account allow it to boil, or the eggs will curdle), and serve with

sippets of toasted bread.
