What goes with Celtuce?
Celtuce is the swollen stem form of lettuce: crisp and juicy when raw, increasingly tender and nutty after heat. A thick fibrous peel protects a pale centre that can be shaved, blanched, charred or puréed.

What pairs well with Celtuce?
Its quiet green flavour benefits from fat, fermented dairy and aromatic dressings, while the succulent stem is valuable against meat, egg and cheese. Preserve some crunch unless a purée is deliberately required.
