In reply to Patricia Whiteside. There's always different ways! Onions are always good for their aromatic, gentle sweetness. I can see mushrooms fitting in there, too.

In reply to Caroline's Cooking. I saute mushrooms with the bacon and lettuce. I don't use onions.

In reply to Jenny. I know what you mean, it's not typically something you would cook but does really work here!

I really like the addition of wilted lettuce. I never think of lettuce as a green that can be cooked, but it adds a little something special to this dish. So yummy!

This recipe was such a hit here and were gone in a matter of minutes! My hubby and son kept asking for more! Definitely on the remake list!

This is the side dish dreams are made of! I love peas on their own but this just makes them that little bit better - and my family are more likely to eat them too! Super delicious.

In reply to Paul M. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed and would make again! Yes I can see thick cut may not be the best unless you cut it into very thin strips (so kind of like lardons).

I thought this was a very good recipe for making ordinary peas much better. I used thick cut maple smoked bacon, because that is what I had in my fridge. However, thick cut bacon is probably not the best choice for this recipe. I also used pearl onions. I could not find fresh peas, so I had to go with frozen peas that I thawed out. I also used romaine lettuce (as shown in the photo above). I would definitely make this again.
