How to wrap with lettuce

Here are a few tips for lettuce wrappers:

For best results, pick the largest, most pliable lettuces leaves. Iceberg, red lettuce and radicchio leaves or cups along with large spinach leaves are other possibilities.
Core the lettuce and soak in ice water for an hour or two for easy removal of intact leaves. Separate the leaves and drain each one individually, then refrigerate on a towel for a couple of hours to crisp them. Lettuce leaves or cups can also be rinsed, dried and stacked, wrapped in a plastic bag and refrigerated several hours or overnight. Be sure to dry the lettuce well before serving lest you will have a messy and watery mixture running out of the wrapped-up lettuce leaf.
