Braised Lettuces

lettuces
4 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive oil
to taste kosher salt
to taste ground pepper

Soak the lettuces in salted water, check for infestation, then rinse. Tie the lettuces with string to keep together for next step. Blanch the lettuces for 3 minutes in a large pot of simmering salted water. Remove lettuces from water with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels, gently squeezing and blotting to remove excess water. Remove and discard string. Drizzle 4 tbsp. of Extra Virgin Olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat, add lettuces, and cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes, then carefully turn and cook another 3 minutes. Season to taste with kosher salt and ground pepper. Serve with chicken and wine sauce, if you like.
