2. Add 1/2 cup water and a little coarse salt; cook over med. heat for about. 1 hr. Clean lettuce and cut into 2-inch pieces. As soon as meat has absorbed the water it will begin to brown in the butter but do not let the scallions brown. Add dill, lettuce, salt & pepper. Cover pot and simmer over low heat for about. 15 min.

3. If it is needed, add a little water toward the end of the cooking time (not in the beginning, because then the lettuce will exude water).

Pour this sauce back into the pot and shake the pot gently to mix the sauce with the food. Serve immediately.
