Steps:
- Melt the olive oil and butter in a medium saucepan or skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced green onions and cook for a couple of minutes. Slice the butter lettuce, but don't shred. (You can even use bagged lettuce.)
- Layer half of the lettuce into the saucepan over the onions. Sprinkle the peas on top. Then add the remaining lettuce. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Cook for a minute or two, and then sprinkle the flour over the vegetables. Stir until the vegetables are coated. Slowly pour in the stock, cover, and increase the heat to achieve a simmer. Cook for 4 or 5 minutes, or until the peas are tender.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Add finely chopped mint leaves if desired and stir. Pour off the cooking liquid, add the lemon juice, and serve.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. When it shimmers, add shallots, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle flour over the top and cook until raw taste is gone, about 30 seconds. Add stock and bring to a boil. Stir in lettuce and peas, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until lettuce and peas are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in yogurt or sour cream, if using. Taste, adjust seasoning as desired, and serve.

Steps:
- Prepare a wood or charcoal grill for direct-heat grilling, or use a grill pan on top of the stove. Trim the tops of the green garlic where the leaves begin to branch out. Peel an outside layer of the stalks and slice thinly on the bias. Or very thinly slice the garlic cloves. Set aside.
- Cut the lettuce in quarters lengthwise and brush all over with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Place the lettuce cut-side down on the grill and cook until it has darkish grill marks, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip lettuce quarters to the other cut side and grill for another couple of minutes, then grill on the leafy side briefly. Remove from grill when done.
- Heat 1 cup water, a splash of olive oil and a pinch of salt in a large skillet over high heat. When the liquid is at a roaring boil, add the peas and garlic and cook, tasting often for seasoning and adding more water as needed, 3 to 8 minutes, or until the peas are just tender. Add the mint leaves and cook 1 minute. The goal is to have just enough water at the end of the cooking time to emulsify with the oil and thicken slightly.
- To serve, spread the lettuce on a platter and pour the peas and their minty, garlicky juices over it. Serve with grilled chicken, roast duck or by itself.
