Tasty recipe! I grow a lot of lettuce, and wondered if this would be a good way to use the plants that are beginning to bolt, and are too bitter for fresh eating. Well, it worked beautifully. I garnished mine with a little dollop of Greek yogurt. It sank to the bottom, so I just mixed it in –yum!

I just made this- very tasty! Add some whole grain bread and it makes a nice, light meal. I garnished it with some scallions.

Maureen Plattner: I’m not sure but I think that four months on the boil may be too long!

This is awesome! I am well impressed by the ingenuity here and the commitment to not throwing away something that can be used! This is something really close to my heart.

Great job! perfect for Frugal Friday!

Mommaofmany,
So you use lettuce greens in your smoothies? I have used some different greens, but I never thought of using lettuce greens. It makes sense though! Some of the greens I used were to flavorful for a smoothie.

I also never thought of freezing them before!

Anonymous,
That is so interesting! Who would have thought? But I could see how it would be gentle on the stomach. I wonder if there is some property in it that makes it especially good for the stomach. Thanks for the tip!

I read in the book Mediterranean Prescription to boil 2 heads of romaine lettuce with 1 teaspoon of salt for 3-4 minutes, drain and .
reserve 1/4 cup water and mix with 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil. Put liquid mixture on top of Cooked romaine. Sicilians say this is how families treated stomach ailments Romaine with broth.
