Any vegetarian recipes/tips for lettuce, besides salads or sandwiches?

Question

I buy lettuce for salad, but other than that I don't know what to do with the lettuce. Sometimes I don't even use it in a salad, and it's wasteful to keep buying something and not really eat it, or all of it.

Does anyone have tips for other ways I can use lettuce in food, besides simply as part of a salad or sandwich?

* Please keep the tips vegetarian.

Roasted Lettuce

Ingredients

Break off the outside leaves of the lettuces.
