Peas and Onions, French Style

Ingredients

• 1 slice bacon
• 1/4 cup butter
• 2 cups fresh peas
• 12 small onions
• 1 sprig of mint
• 1 egg yolk
• 1/3 cup cream
• 1 head of lettuce (use lettuce hearts)
• salt
• pepper

Instructions

Cut the bacon in shreds crosswise, using the shears for this purpose. Cook bacon with the butter about ten minutes, without scorching bacon. Remove scraps of bacon, add the peas, onions and mint. Cook until peas and onions are soft, adding one-fourth cup boiling water to prevent scorching. Beat the yolk slightly, add the cream and lettuce cut in quarters, season with salt and pepper. Let boil up once and serve.
