Lettuce: Our favourite ingredients to cook at home

For a wrap you want a firm, crisp lettuce — iceberg or cos — not a soft leaf. Keep it in cold water for ten minutes before you use it and the leaves stiffen up.

Our Chicken Burger in a Lettuce Wrap uses two large leaves in place of a bun, and our Friday Night Doner Wrap uses it shredded.
