Butter lettuce can be creatively used beyond salads, serving as wraps for proteins or cheese toasties. It catches flavors beautifully and can be braised with chicken, onion, and garlic for depth. Grilling halved or quartered lettuce adds a unique taste when paired with fruits or grilled items. Lettuce can also be quickly stir-fried or incorporated into soups, providing versatile options for utilizing an abundance of this green in diverse meals.
Start thinking of lettuce, and especially butter lettuce, as bread or a taco shell. This is a highly adaptable strategy.
Use butter lettuce to wrap cheese toasties, as it catches the fatty goodness and acts as a barrier between the crunchy bread and the roof of your mouth.
Lettuce is a great carrier of flavour. Braising lettuce with chicken, onion, garlic, and thyme allows all the flavours to come together.
Halve or quarter lettuces and grill them. Pair with stone fruit and grilled halloumi or chicken for a different experience.
