Organic Lettuce Porn

Or lettuce you can't buy in a store. I had thought I planted this red iceberg lettuce seed too late in September, but it came up fine and kept growing. Dressing ideas anyone? I'm thinking Caesar at the moment.

Sam - grainy French mustard, sherry vinegar, red wine vinegar, a whiff of sugar, light olive oil or sunflower oil plus freshly shelled walnuts, chunks of acid apple, bits of festering stilton and bread with sunflower seeds.

I would suggest some white balsamic and a dash of walnut oil. An Italian Parm maker turned me on to this simple but wonderful dressing.

Try a roasted Yellow tomato vinaigrette with champagne vinegar then spoted with Brie Croutons

Well, we veered away from salad and made Thai Catfish burgers (from Rick Moonen's excellent cookbook, fish without a doubt) and then wrapped these tiny burgers in the lettuce leaves and smothered them in scallion ginger sauce. YUM. I may post the burger recipe if Rick gives the OK, but here's a link to awesome sauce I've been eating for 3 days straight:
