Ecological Cos Maureen Lettuce, grown at DVC Agroforestry Farm.
Maureen is an improved Little Gem type with solid tasty hearts a good shape and well closed heads.
Lettuce can be braised and even cooked in soup but it is primarily a salad plant. It is not just to be thrown together with a bit of cucumber and tomato though as there are many other uses.
It’s great in burger buns, sandwiches, spicy wraps and even as a bed for a tikka curry.
Mix with other leafy greens like cress, rocket or cornsalad for a perfect green salad.
