Step 4
Place the peas and lettuce in a pan, pour in vegetable broth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. As soon as the broth starts to boil, reduce the heat to the minimum, cover with a lid and leave for 20 minutes — the liquid will almost completely evaporate.

Step 5
Arrange the lettuce, peas, and bacon on plates. If more than one or two tablespoons of liquid remain in the pan, increase the heat to maximum and let it evaporate a bit. Taste the sauce and add salt and pepper if needed.
