Lettuce recipes

[helagumamela]

The vegetable vendors in front of our office have dozens of lettuce that are very cheap. Anyone here can share lettuce recipes aside from salads? Thanks a lot!

I cannot think of a single one.

Neither do I, but there is a huge variety of salads you can prepare. I personally love to always keep some lettuce nearby, I disinfect it and place it in a container, in case I want to make a sandwich. My dad sometimes makes a lettuce tea when he has a hard time sleeping. My mom once prepared a chicken with lettuce, she put it in the blender and added other things... it was good, I'll ask her for the recipe!

The only thing I have seen lettuce used for other than a salad is an open face sandwich, instead of using bread put the salad mixings on lettuce.

Here's one, lettuce soup. I wouldn't make it because I already know I'd like it better with spinach, but you asked for lettuce

I also found this one, but it's in Spanish. It's a lettuce, goat cheese, and anchovies pie: http://www.mis-recetas.org/recetas/show/19442-tarta-de-lechuga-queso-de-cabra-y-anchoas

Lettuce juice.

This is not an easy question
As far as I know, some people wrap ground meat in cooked lettuce leaves, but I don't know the recipe, because I'm a vegetrian

I found this romaine lettuce stir fry recipe that looks promising. http://www.eatingoutloud.com/2008/02/ginger-pepper-romaine-stir-fry.html

Lettuce juice.

Lettuce juice? I think that sounds gross. I mean, I love eating the vegetable, but I just can't see myself drinking it!

Hmmm... there's not many other than salad but we do eat a lot of lettuce wraps. I'm not sure if you have ever had them. Many restaurants sell them as appetizers. It's basically using the lettuce as the "bread". Hard to give you a good visual picture but you can really use it to wrap just about anything!! Here's an example!

Hope this helps!

Oh thanks! That looks really nice. I am doing some lettuce wraps, too. I wrap cucumber, carrot strips, and crabsticks in lettuce. This is a great yet simple to do recipe.
