Highlighting peas when your harvest is small

Julia Child's recipe for peas braised with lettuce and onions springs to mind. It is in Vol 1. Here is a link to a version. Your small harvest would likely yield just the right amount for a scaled down version for two people. Perhaps you also have young lettuces and onions popping up. Spring :smile:

I had a dinner at Gramercy Tavern a while ago where we were served a piece of fish (maybe halibut?) atop some kind of purée of broccoli that was intensely GREEN.

Maybe you could do something similar? Sort of like a broth-like sauce?

Halibut and peas is a classic springtime combination. This weekend I extended it to halibut, peas, and carrots. I dusted the halibut with carrot powder, sous vided it, then served it atop beurre blanc and sprinkled peas over the top. The carrot came out brighter orange - almost day glow - and sweeter than I expected, so next time I'll probably skip it. But a few peas definitely go a long way when paired with halibut.
