Main Dish

Steps

1. Begin by rinsing the lettuce and drying it with paper towels. 2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. 3. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. 4. Add the lettuce and season with salt and pepper. 5. Cover the skillet and let cook for 1-2 minutes. 6. Uncover the skillet and stir the lettuce gently. 7. Continue cooking and stirring until lettuce is just wilted, about 1-2 minutes. 8. 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.

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.
