This recipe works beautifully with iceberg lettuce, but other types of lettuce and leafy greens can be prepared and stir-fried in the same exact way. Any lettuce you have at hand will do, but go for firmer leaves like kale, endives, radicchio, leaf lettuce, Batavia, or romaine. Avoid the super-soft lettuces like bib or Boston.
Mustard and collard greens can also be prepared following this stir-fry recipe, but do add an extra pinch of sugar to counter-balance their bitterness. Recipe Tags:. Iceberg Lettuce.

Recipe Summary test prep:. Reviews 3. Martha Stewart Member. Rating: 5 stars. Really great way to cook romaine. My wife thought it smelled amazing when she came in the house from work; she said that it smelled like my parents house. My parents always have something cooking because we have a HUGE family and the meals are always top notch! My father has since passed; however, I bet he would have enjoyed this dish.

Pat the lettuce dry with a clean dishrag, paper towel, or allow it to air dry. Once the lettuce is dry, tear it into pieces slightly larger than bite-size. Mince garlic , if necessary. You can buy garlic pre-minced at your local grocery store, but fresh garlic often has a richer flavor.

For this reason, radicchio lettuce is the preferred kind for grilling, though you might also have success grilling comparable varieties, like Belgian endive.
Cut your lettuce into quarters. If, after washing your lettuce, some moisture remains on it, use a clean dishrag or paper towel to pat it dry.
Then, using a sharp kitchen knife, cut your two heads of lettuce into quarters. Spread the quarters onto a clean serving dish and drizzle each quarter with olive oil to lightly coat each one. The olive oil will help your seasoning stick to the lettuce, so this is the perfect time to add salt, pepper, or other seasonings to your lettuce. Heat your grill. First check your grill to make sure it has gas and that its equipment is hooked up correctly.
A loose hose can cause a dangerous gas leak. After that, set your grill to a medium heat and allow 5 to 10 minutes for the grill to heat up.
