Is this it?

Saute of Peas and Lettuce

Ingredients
1kg fresh peas, podded
80g unsalted butter
a clove of garlic
2 Little Gem lettuces, torn or sliced.
6 thin slices of pancetta or prosciutto cut into strips
a little caster sugar
Maldon salt and pepper

Heat ˝ litre of water with 20g of butter, sugar and salt. Bring to the boil and plunge the peas in to this for 3-5 minutes, depending on the size and then drain and refresh under a cold tap.

In a sauté pan add the butter and gently fry the garlic without browning. Add the prosciutto, lettuce and peas and cook together for just two minutes - season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and serve with a knob of butter and plenty of chopped flat leaf parsley.
