Method

  1. 1 Boil the bitter lettuce in plenty of water for 10 minutes, then squeeze out the excess water and discard the boiling water.
  2. 2 Discarding the boiling water helps remove the bitterness; keeping it results in a dish that is too bitter to eat.
  3. 3 Fry thinly sliced onions in olive oil for 25 minutes until browned and crispy, then remove half and set aside.
  4. 4 Sauté the drained vegetables in onion and garlic oil for 8 minutes to allow them to absorb the oil.
  5. 5 Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice, then let cool completely.
  6. 6 This dish is best eaten cold at room temperature, topped with the remaining fried onions and served with pita bread.
