Sounds delicious!
I really like using grape leaves and cabbage leaves in different recipes instead of deep or pan frying wonton wrappers or egg roll wrappers. It's less messy and more healthy.

Lettuce leaves are something I haven't tried. When my lettuce starts coming up in the garden, I'm going to try this, thank you.
