Monique's Fresh Spring Vegetables

1. 1

   Melt the butter in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat.

2. 2

   Add the carrots, onions, and shallots, stirring so they are coated with the butter.

3. 3

   Season lightly with salt.

4. 4

   Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are softened but still have plenty of texture, about 8 minutes.

5. 5

   Stir in the water, season with salt and pepper, and continue cooking, covered, until the carrots are nearly tender, an additional 8 minutes.

6. 6

   Add the peas and stir.

7. 7

   Then lay the lettuce heart and leaves over the vegetables.

8. 8

   Cover, and cook until the lettuce leaves are wilted and the peas are done to your liking (I like them bright green and cooked through to a juicy tenderness), 10 to 15 minutes.

9. 9

   Adjust the seasonings, and serve.
