[영어] 미국 상추 종류: Types of lettuces

[영어] 미국 상추 종류: Types of lettuces

 

상추는 미국 요리에선 주로 샐러드로 먹게 되는데, 한국 요리로는 구운 삼결살과 제일 궁합이 맞는 듯 하네요.  

개인적으로는 Romaine, Radicchio 또는 Endive가 식감이 좋은데, 한국 상추는 Green Leaf 또는 Little Gem이 맞는 것 같습니다.

 

Green Leaf & Red Leaf

Green leaf and red leaf lettuces are the two main contenders in the loose-leaf lettuce category. You know them from their large, frilly leaves and crisp-tender texture. These are the quintessential salad lettuces that pair well with just about any kind of produce or salad dressing.

Oak Leaf

Oak leaf lettuce has a distinctive shape that — you guessed it — resembles the leaf from an oak tree. This loose-leaf lettuce can be either green or red, has a somewhat delicate texture, and plays well with other tender lettuces from the butterhead family or baby greens. Try it tossed with a simple balsamic vinaigrette and cherry tomatoes.

Mesclun

Mesclun, also commonly called spring greens, is a mix of baby leaf lettuces and other greens. It originated in southern France as a blend of wild greens, and was popularized in America, thanks to Alice Waters and other chefs promoting seasonal greenmarket cooking. Try Waters’ spring lettuce salad in homage.

Butterhead

Butterhead lettuce is aptly named, since the leaves of the bulbous lettuce heads can be very soft and sweet — almost buttery in texture. Two varieties are the most well-known: Boston is a slightly larger and floppier-leafed variety, while Bibb is the smaller and more compact of the two. These are the whole lettuce heads often grown hydroponically and sold in individual clamshells. Use them for lettuce wraps or in simple salads with citrus.

Iceberg

Iceberg lettuce is the most famous variety of crisphead lettuce. Whether you crave it as the base of a wedge salad, wrapped around a burger in place of a bun, or shredded in a hoagie or sub sandwich, it’s a cool and crisp contrast to rich flavors.

Romaine

Romaine is easy to identify with its trademark cylindrical shape, crisp leaves, and sturdy ribs. It’s the type of lettuce traditionally used in Caesar salad, but can stand up to any thick and creamy dressing, like ranch or green goddess. Romaine is a fantastic option for chopped salads too. 

로메인은 전통적인 시저 샐러드에 사용되면서, 마트에 거의 구비되는 품종이지요.

 

Little Gem

Little Gem is a smaller version of Romaine and as such, has a sweeter taste and slightly more tender texture — kind of like the love child of Romaine and Bibb lettuce. It’s as versatile as you would expect and can handle a strongly flavored vinaigrette. Try it with Christine Gallary’s garlicky house dressing.

Arugula

Arugula may resemble miniature green oak leaves, but the flavor is stronger — sometimes peppery — and the texture can be crunchier than leaf lettuce. It’s great in all sorts of salads — but its flavor really shines in this simple arugula salad. Another tasty idea for arugula: Make a salad pizza by topping flatbreads with arugula tossed in olive oil and lemon juice, and some shaved Parmesan.

Radicchio

Radicchio is the biggest member of the chicory family, characterized by a slightly bitter flavor and colorful, crunchy leaves. The round or oblong heads of radicchio can be julienned or shredded for a crisp raw salad, or sliced in half to make roasted or grilled radicchio.

Endive

Endive is a relative of radicchio that’s slightly smaller with oblong, pointed leaves. Because each pale-green leaf is its own scoopable “boat,” it’s the green that you’ll often find on an hors d’oeuvre tray filled with everything from blue cheese and walnuts to smoked salmon salad. Of course you can also make salad with endive — try it in this chicory salad along with radicchio.

Frisée

Frisée is the curly, “frizzy” variety of chicory with a sweeter flavor and more tender texture than the sturdy leaves of radicchio and endive. It’s the traditional base for the French salade Lyonnaise with bacon and a poached egg.

Mâche & Watercress

Mâche is a tender, small-leafed green that goes by a whole bunch of other names: corn salad, lamb’s lettuce, or nut lettuce. It grows wild and can be foraged. Try it tossed with other tender leaf lettuces with a light vinaigrette.

Watercress is another wild-growing green similar to mâche in size and shape. It has a more pronounced peppery flavor similar to arugula, and can be used interchangeably. Try it in a salad with apples and almonds. To learn more about mâche and watercress, see our guide to spring greens.
