What it is
A traditional, humble Lithuanian side dish featuring tender garden lettuce lightly stewed in butter until wilted, then combined with crispy pork cracklings and finished with a dollop of rich, full-fat sour cream. A surprisingly flavorful and satisfying warm side.
Key ingredients
Fresh lettuce (e.g., romaine or butter lettuce), pork belly for cracklings, butter, sour cream (full fat), fresh dill, salt, black pepper.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no sugar is added to the sour cream. Lettuce should be simply stewed, not heavily sauced with binders.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in commercial sour creams.
