    Can substitute baby white onions for green onions.

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I know that this is a classic preparation for fresh peas. Try as I might (and I have!), I can't develop an appreciation for cooked lettuce. Without the lettuce this is fine.
