Peas Epicurean

Spring is almost here in Pilgrim-ville. Time to try an turn the veggie beds and try to start some peas & lettuce early. Here is a little old fashion recipe for PEAS:

Peas Epicurean

2 cups peas
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 table spoons minced onion
1 heart lettuce, shredded
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pepper
Water
1 tablespoon minced parsley

Slowly cook peas, oil, onion, lettuce, sugar, salt, & pepper in enough water to cover, until the peas are tender and most of the liquid has boiled away. Add parley.

Note: Obviously, you'll want to update this recipe to modern standards. Can you do it?
