Butterhead Lettuce
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Let me first say that i have not made this dish yet, will tommorow. I watched this show Saturday morning, plus, i also taped... the show, and if anyone knows Butterhead Lettuce it's the same as Boston Lettuce and she did not use those lettuce, she used Green Leaf Lettuce. Green Leaf Lettuce has more of a "Crunch" to it on the top than the Butterhead or Boston Lettuce. This is the only reason why i gave it a four stars instead of five, because she got it wrong. I will use Green Leaf Lettuce to this dish along with Basmati Rice,and the Italian Sausages (that i gave a review on in 2006). This too, will be a Keeper.Read more

Rated: 4 stars out of 5

i only caught the tail-end of the episode so when i read the recipe i was not prepared for that ingredient. while at the... store, i looked for a comparable substitute and decided to use bok choy instead. yum! maybe i'll brave the lettuce next time.Read more

So simple and yummy!

I never would have thought to put lettuce with frozen peas, but I love how it all tasted and it's such an easy recipe, plus... pairs well with just about everything (at least just about everything I cook! :) ).Read more

DELICIOUS!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

incredibly easy to make, and it was WONDERFUL. I made it again the next day, but used spinach instead of the butterhead... lettuce and it turned out just as well. such great flavor and texture!Read more
