Preparation -- 15 minutes

RINSE the iceberg lettuce and leek, remove the outer leaves and chop the lettuce, and leek into pieces. HEAT butter in a large pan and saute the chopped leek for a few minutes.

Then ADD the chopped iceberg lettuce and 1 teaspoon of ground nutmeg. Let it simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat a medium-sized skillet on high heat.

Add the bacon lardons in the dry skillet, without adding any oil and butter, and bake them for a few minutes, or until they're crispy.

TRANSFER them to a piece of paper kitchen towels to get rid of any excess fat.
