There are so many great conversations on the Hotline -- it's hard to choose a favorite. But we'll be doing it, once a week, to spread the wealth of our community's knowledge -- and to keep the conversation going.
Your eyes got bigger than your stomach at the farmers market (or your CSA box overflowed), and suddenly you have a lot of one ingredient. More than you know what to do with. After going through your favorite recipes -- three times -- you’re starting to burn out. That's when it's time to head to the Hotline.
This week Anastasia was overwhelmed with green leaf lettuce, and none of you leafed her hanging. (Sorry, we couldn't help it.) Some of the best ideas we’ve seen so far?
- Adding some lettuce to a brothy noodle soup, or going all out and making lettuce soup.
- Turning it into a frozen granita, from Sam1148.
- inpatskitchen suggests testing out Kukla’s contest winning recipe for pickled lettuce.
