Tie in a bunch six green lettuce leaves with two leeks, add to the pan, season with a half teaspoon each salt and sugar and two saltspoons pepper. Cover the pan and let boil for forty-five minutes, then remove the lettuce and leeks. Mix on a plate a tablespoon butter with a teaspoon flour, then add little by little to the peas, tossing well meanwhile, dress on a vegetable dish and serve.
