butter lettuce
Fabulous post! Do post something on spinach!
I have a "recipe" for butter lettuce from my childhood. My Norweigan Grandma would serve this with the first butter lettuce of the season, we ate it separately as a sald course, and we each would have as many little heads as we could.
cut one head in half the long way(thru the core) ,plan on a head per person.
melt 1 tablespoon butter per half in a large skillet, let it foam up. Sprinkle the pan with lots of black pepper.
Add the lettuces and saute briefly - like a minute - over medium heat. The lettuce ahould just begin to wilt on the bottom and be warm, not hot.
Place warm side up and squeeze a bit of lemon juice over, add some salt - yum. We also sometimes would mix butter and lemon juice and pour over, very nice!
