Main Dish

Steps

Begin by rinsing the lettuce and drying it with paper towels.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the lettuce and season with salt and pepper.
Cover the skillet and let cook for 1-2 minutes.
Uncover the skillet and stir the lettuce gently.
Continue cooking and stirring until lettuce is just wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips for Sautéed Lettuce Recipe

Tender, glossy leaves with a little structure are ideal; cooking until limp and watery can make the dish seem heavy.
A wide skillet gives the leaves room to wilt evenly instead of steaming in a crowded pile.
Have the lettuce thoroughly dry before cooking; excess water can dilute the garlic and oil and cause splattering.

Drink pairing

A crisp, dry white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc
Its fresh acidity complements the tender greens and savory garlic without overwhelming their delicate flavor.

0% option: Sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container within 2 hours and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot; the leaves will be softer after storage.
