20g unsalted butter
2 echalion shallots, sliced
2 Waitrose sweet cos lettuces, quartered lengthways
150ml Knorr GF Vegetable Stock Pot
1 tbsp thyme leaves
380g frozen garden peas
2 tbsp single cream

Melt the unsalted butter in a large, deep, lidded frying pan over a low-medium heat. Add the sliced echalion shallots and cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes, until soft. Quarter the Cos lettuces lengthways through the root and nestle them into the pan. Cook for a further 2 minutes.
Add the fresh vegetable stock, thyme leaves and frozen garden peas, then cover with the lid and simmer very gently for 10-12 minutes, until the lettuce is tender. Season, stir in single cream and serve immediately.
