Abstract

Cooked lettuce takes on flavours wonderfully. If your crisper draw is all leaves but you don’t feel like a salad, give this technique a try.

 

Gems work well because they fit in a pan easily but cos, iceberg or any lettuce that has good structure will work- simply cut them down to the size of the pan or grill. The pistachio really gives beautiful texture and flavour to this dish, contrasting the creaminess and adding a much-needed crunch. Lettuce can also be thrown in any stir fry right at the end and – it soaks up the sauce and tastes amazing.
