1 package frozen baby sweet peas, lightly steamed, drained and chilled
1 small can diced carrots, rinsed

DIRECTIONS

Cover and refrigerate overnight or at least for 3 to 4 hours until the flavor melds together.

When ready to serve, tear off a lettuce leaf and place a large spoonful of curried peas and carrots mixture in the center of the lettuce. Sprinkle lightly with paprika to add color. Place your meat or a couple of sliced tomatoes on the plate and serve.

*1 small head of iceberg lettuce. Pull large outer leaves off and save for soup. Use smaller more tender leave to cup curried peas and carrots.
