What a fascinating recipe! Shortly before the chef pours the “liquefied” ingredient into the Thermomix, he explains what he has before him. The dark green liquid is the romaine lettuce extract, he refers to it as a lettuce “smoothie”. I suspect that he said “liquefied lettuce”, but that got lost in the translation.

I might have missed it somewhere, but it is not clear to me how this extract is obtained – is it made by blending the whole lettuce as the descriptor “smoothie” would suggest, or is it juice, extracted and removed from the lettuce solids? Perhaps we can get the answer here?

Hi, @clifford @mandie-lowe

Lettuce is 97% water, but we round it up to 90% for yield reasons. So, for 300 g of extract you need 333 g of lettuce. The only thing you have to do is wash it and put it through the extractor.
