Instructions

Melt butter in a large wide saucepan over medium-low heat.
Cook leeks, partially covered and stirring occasionally, until tender but not browned, 5–7 minutes.
Season with 1 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper, then pour in wine. Increase heat to medium-high and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until wine is reduced by half, 1–2 minutes.
Add lettuce, peas, and 1 cup water.
Partially cover pan and bring liquid to a simmer.
Reduce heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until lettuce and peas are tender, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat, then stir in chives, mint, and lemon zest; season with salt and pepper.
Transfer to a platter.
Top with pistachios.
