Categories     for two, quick, salads and dressings, vegetables, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 to 3 stalks green garlic (or use 2 cloves garlic)
2 heads Little Gem lettuce
Olive oil
Salt and black pepper
1 1/2 cups shelled English peas
Handful of spearmint or Persian mint leaves, torn or roughly chopped into large pieces

Steps:

  • Prepare a wood or charcoal grill for direct-heat grilling, or use a grill pan on top of the stove. Trim the tops of the green garlic where the leaves begin to branch out. Peel an outside layer of the stalks and slice thinly on the bias. Or very thinly slice the garlic cloves. Set aside.
  • Cut the lettuce in quarters lengthwise and brush all over with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Place the lettuce cut-side down on the grill and cook until it has darkish grill marks, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip lettuce quarters to the other cut side and grill for another couple of minutes, then grill on the leafy side briefly. Remove from grill when done.
  • Heat 1 cup water, a splash of olive oil and a pinch of salt in a large skillet over high heat. When the liquid is at a roaring boil, add the peas and garlic and cook, tasting often for seasoning and adding more water as needed, 3 to 8 minutes, or until the peas are just tender. Add the mint leaves and cook 1 minute. The goal is to have just enough water at the end of the cooking time to emulsify with the oil and thicken slightly.
  • To serve, spread the lettuce on a platter and pour the peas and their minty, garlicky juices over it. Serve with grilled chicken, roast duck or by itself.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender peas. The best peas for this dish are fresh, young peas that are still in their pods. Avoid peas that are wrinkled or have brown spots.
  • Use a variety of garlic. This recipe calls for both minced garlic and roasted garlic. Minced garlic adds a sharp, pungent flavor, while roasted garlic adds a mellow, sweet flavor. You can use all minced garlic or all roasted garlic, or a combination of both.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When you're cooking the peas, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly. Cook the peas in batches if necessary.
  • Season to taste. This recipe is a starting point. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or thyme to taste.

Conclusion:

Peas with garlic and thyme is a simple but delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be ready in under 30 minutes. The peas are tender and flavorful, and the garlic and thyme add a savory, aromatic flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
