Day 163: Lettuce and pea salsa verde


This is in its kernel stage but I think I'm going to be developing this recipe in the coming days as it could well be the answer to that glut of allotment lettuce that is looming.

I'm calling it a salsa verde for no better reason than that it happens to be very green. Today I did the basic. Fried a whole head of lettuce with butter and spring onions, added cooked peas, a pinch of salt, some chopped fresh mint and zapped it all in a mixer.

I think there is scope to add many more ingredients to it, bit of cream, garlic, perhaps some anchovies but this was not bad as a start. I think it will go nicely with a lot of different fish and chicken dishes but having the greatly refined and delicate palate, sophisticated taste etc, that I (one) do (does), tonight I had it with fish fingers and boiled potatoes. Yum, Yumety Yum!
