Like spinach and cabbage, Romaine lettuce can be cooked. I love the idea of this and have had similar things,. Not a great fan of the cooked tomato, the next time I try this I'm going to omit the tomato sauce altogether and go with a rose sauce, or lighter cheese-based sauce with a pinch of nutmeg. Maybe amite the bacon. Add some toasted almond slivers for crunch. Or buttered breadcrumbs...some kind of gemolata...
Ingredients:
8 slices bacon
1 tablespoon margarine or 1 tablespoon butter
1 small garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup sliced mushrooms
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 cups romaine lettuce, torn in small pieces
1 (10 ounce) can tomato sauce
Directions:
1. Fry bacon in a large skillet, reserving about 2 tbsp of drippings in the pan. Crumble cooked bacon and set aside. Melt margarine and drippings over medium-low heat. Saute garlic, mushrooms and onion, then add lettuce and cook; sirring gently, for 10-12 minutes. Add cooked rice, tomato sauce and crumbled bacon. Sprinkle in cheese and heat through until cheese melts. Serve at once.
