2 lb. fresh peas or 1 10-oz. package frozen tiny green peas
1 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
dash of pepper
2 tbsp. minced fresh parsley
1 1/2 c. finely shredded lettuce
1/4 c. butter or margarine
1 tbsp. water

Step 1
If you have fresh peas, shell just before using.

Step 2
Place all ingredients in a medium-sized saucepan and stir gently.

Step 3
Cover tightly and cook over low heat for 20 minutes or until peas are tender. (For frozen peas, cover tightly and cook over low heat for 8 minutes. Then stir with a fork to break up any remaining frozen peas. Replace cover and cook 3 to 7 minutes longer or until peas are tender.)
