Guest guest Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 l cook lettuce leaves along with garden peas instead of water(just rinse and leave any water sticking to the leaves) and a nob of butter and they taste fantastic To: " sproutpeople " <sproutpeople > Sent: Sunday, 13 May 2012, 19:27 Subject: Re: Re: Ah Spring!

Anyone have that recipe? Can regular lettuce, head lettuce be cooked?? I have used it in salad, but it is not my favorite green even for salad. mom used to put mayonnaise on it and salt and eat it just as a wedge of lettuce and I sometimes think of that. Maybe I'll make some tuna salad (with egg) and set it in a big few leaves of lettuce. I just noticed 2 heads of lettuce in there as hubby gets them but I like Spring Greens in a bag since I don't have any grown yet. I hate for it to waste but it doesn't have a lot of flavor.

I grow mini cabbages, so mine usually don't get over 6 or 7 pounds, but what fun you can have with that monster! I would be making stuffed cabbage, saurkraut, and dehydrating some for later! Enjoy it! > > Actually, cabbage stands up really well in the refrigerator. 20# is bigger than I usually grow them for two people. I wasn't paying attention to it. Too many fresh things in the garden all the time. > I pant to make slaw. Put some in a green salad. Steam some, and enjoy it a lot. > ew > > Re: Ah Spring! > > Isn't a 20 lb cabbage a lot even for an outside garden? Sounds like an accomplishment. > > Carolyn Wilkerson > > > > F > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
