Cooked Frozen Peas

This is one I grew up with, and I've always liked them.

This will serve 4-5 people

Ingredients:
3 cups of frozen peas
2 lettuce leaves, chopped (I use romaine)
2 green onions, sliced
Coconut oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Method:
Heat enough oil to cover the bottom of a medium saucepan.
When it's good and hot, add the chopped lettuce and green onions.
Put the lid on and shake the pan around to evenly heat the veggies.
Let it get hot again and then add the peas.
Put the lid back on and shake the pot again until the peas and other veggies are evenly distributed.
Return to the heat for about 3-5 minutes until the peas are cooked through.
Add a little butter after they're cooked, and salt and pepper to taste.

Note: I use coconut oil to cook them in because it has a high smoke point and I can get it hotter than other oils.  Adding a little butter after they're cooked adds to the flavor, but doesn't risk burning the butter.
