Heat the oil in a deep frying pan over a medium heat.
Add the bacon and brown for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the wine, sliced onions, and let the mixture bubble for 2 minutes.
Add in the stock and peas, bring back to the boil and cook for 3 minutes.
Carefully place the lettuce quarters on top of the peas, with the stalks facing upwards.
Put the lid on for 2 minutes then turn off the heat. Remove the lettuce and place on a plate then drain the peas.
Place the peas in a serving dish and arrange the lettuce on the top to serve.
💭 Top tip
- If you are using real lardons there will be enough fat in them to fry without the oil and this will add even more flavour to the dish.
