Boiled Lettuce Recipe

Take the coarser part of lettuce not delicate enough for a salad, boil

in salted water until soft, then drain thoroughly. Slightly brown a

tablespoonful of butter and a dessertspoonful of flour in a saucepan,

put in the lettuce, let it cook up once or twice, then add a half-cup of

stock and boil thoroughly, just before serving add a gill of cream and

give a sprinkle of nutmeg if the flavor is liked.
