Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons butter
4 romaine hearts, damaged leaves removed, trimmed and sliced in half lengthwise
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock
1 carrot, chopped
Salt
ground black pepper
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

  • Put 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium to large skillet over medium heat. When butter has melted and foam subsided, add romaine hearts, cut side down, and cook, turning once or twice, until they begin to brown on the edges, about 5 minutes.
  • Add stock, carrot and some salt and pepper. Cover and cook over lowest possible heat, turning occasionally, until lettuce and carrots are very tender, about 20 minutes. Uncover and turn heat up a bit to reduce any remaining liquid; add remaining tablespoon of butter and gently turn vegetables to coat. Drizzle with lemon juice.

I'm not a big fan of romaine hearts, but this recipe changed my mind. The braising process made them so tender and flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover romaine hearts. I added some chopped walnuts and dried cranberries for a bit of extra crunch and sweetness.

I followed the recipe exactly and the romaine hearts were tough and the sauce was watery. Not sure what went wrong.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could use some more seasoning.

Just made this last night and it was delicious! I added a little extra garlic and red pepper flakes for a bit of a kick. Served it with grilled shrimp and it was a perfect meal.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it always turns out perfectly. The romaine hearts are always tender and juicy, and the sauce is rich and flavorful. I love serving this dish with roasted potatoes and a green salad. Yum!

This braised romaine hearts recipe is a game-changer! The hearts were so tender and flavorful, and the bacon and mushrooms added a delicious savory touch. I served it as a side dish with grilled chicken, and it was a hit with the whole family. Highly
