Preparation method

1. Put Lettuce in a big pan (after washing it ;-) )

2. Add stock Cubes

3. Add a bag of frozen Peas

4. Add chopped Onion (optional)

5. Cover Vegi's with boiling water. Bring to the boil and then simmer until all cooked

6. Remove from heat and take out most of the stock and keep to one side

Just yummy.
