To prepare this Stewed Lettuce Recipe 2, first take 4 good-sized lettuces, trim away the outer leaves and the bitter stalks; wash the lettuces carefully, and boil them in plenty of salted water until they are tender. Lift them into a colander, and squeeze the water from them; chop them slightly, and put them into a clean saucepan with a little pepper and salt, and a small piece of butter. Dredge a little flour on them, pour over them 3 tablespoonfuls of good gravy, or 1/4 cupful of cream and omit the lemon juice, and simmer gently for a quarter of an hour, stirring all the time. Squeeze 1 dessert-spoonful of vinegar or lemon juice upon them, and serve as hot as possible, with fried sippets round the dish. Time, altogether, three-quarters of an hour.
