Wilted lettuce and peas is a classic side dish. This hearty version is substantial enough for a lunchtime main course.

Ingredients

4 slice bacon 2 tbsp. unsalted butter 2 leeks (white and pale-green parts only) Coarse salt Freshly ground pepper 20 oz. spinach 2 c. shelled fresh garden peas 1/2 c. chicken broth 1 tbsp. finely chopped mixed fresh herbs 12 leaves Boston or Bibb lettuce

Instructions

Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Melt butter in a large pot over medium-high heat until foamy. Add leeks and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until leeks are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add spinach, cover, and cook 2 minutes, stirring halfway through. Add peas and broth, and cook, stirring occasionally, until peas are tender and bright green, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in herbs and bacon, and season with salt and pepper. Divide lettuce leaves among 6 plates, and top with pea mixture. Serve immediately. Looking for more quick and easy recipes?
