Sauteed Lettuce with Pork

Most of the people called lettuce as "rabbit food" because it is eaten raw, but recently it is very abundant from our own garden and we are always making it into salads, but today, for a change I've decided to saute it.  Lettuce is a great source of Vitamins K, A, C and other valuable nutrients to maintain good health. Low in calories, therefore it is a good vegetable to eat when you are on a diet.
Still the best to eat this raw.


Ingredients for 4 servings:
1/2 kilo lettuce ( cut to your desired size)
1/4 kilo pork ( or any meat of your choice)
4 cloves garlic
3 tablespoons soy sauce
salt and pepper to taste

Procedure:
1. Saute the garlic until brownish then add the pork and continue to saute until the pinkish color is gone.
2. Add soy sauce, salt and pepper to taste then simmer until the pork is fully cooked then add the lettuce, give a good stir and simmer until done.
3. Serve it with a smile :-).
