   Reduce heat to low, skim off any foam, and simmer gently until the lamb is tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes. Add 1 tsp salt in the last 5 minutes.

   Remove the lamb from the pot and let it rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, arrange the 4 large lettuce leaves on a serving plate.
