Mesclun lettuce is simply a mixture of different types of leaf lettuce. There are many varieties. Usually it matures at a rate that you can't use it all up in salads. Last night I tried to use it as a vegetable and it was very good. Great way to use that extra lettuce. I would also try other lettuces with some watercress mixed in. Serve this like you would spinach as a veggie side dish Do Not overcook it only takes about 4 minutes. Usually the water on the leaves is enough moisture but if it is dry add a couple tablespoons of water to the pan. Notice in the picture that I have added some pecans - Use your own imagination. Ingredients:
6 cups mesclun, washed, still damp |
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine |
3 tablespoons slivered almonds |
1 cup mushroom, cleaned thin sliced |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
2 shallots, minced |
Directions:
1. Over medium heat melt butter/margarine in a skillet large enough to hold the lettuce When butter has melted add almonds,mushrooms, garlic and shallots, stir fry 2 minutes Add lettuce stir a couple of times until it has wilted and is warm.
2. Do not over cook.
