Grilled Romaine! Hearts of romaine lettuce, painted with a herb vinaigrette, and grilled. Served whole, or chopped for a grilled salad.

Grilled Romaine Lettuce

romaine hearts

extra virgin olive oil

red wine vinegar (or cider vinegar)

herbs

salt

black pepper

"better to add dressing after cooking b\/c adding oil before cooking leads to huge fires under the grill and soggy lettuce."

"I've done similar for years, except....grille the romaine, then when serving, brush on blue cheese dressing (home made is best, pre-made works), sprinkle with crumbled blue cheese and crumbled crisp bacon.  Guess you have to like blue cheese for this....I sure do!!"

Prep the romaine hearts: Pull off any old leaves. Chop off the top 1 or 2 inches of the lettuce head, and shave off the browned part of the root end, leaving the root end intact so that the lettuce head stays together.

Prepare your grill for high, direct heat.

Prepare the vinaigrette: Put the oil, vinegar, herbs, salt and pepper in a small bowl and whisk with a fork to combine. Paint the lettuce hearts all over with the vinaigrette.

Grill: Grill the romaine hearts until lightly browned on all sides, turning every minute or two until done.
 
Serve immediately. You can either serve the hearts whole, or chop them and toss them for a salad.

"I just used romane lettuce olive oil and himilayan pink salt, grilled like 5 minutes, it tastes straight buttery\/nutty but without that butter oversaturation flavor.\r\n\r\nIts my favorite food by far, healthy fast and cheap."

"Makes the romaine taste nutty  Great with fish - so light"

"I tried grilling on a grill pan (on the hob), and cooked it for around 5-7 mins until the inside is also cooked through, then I topped with some cheddar cheese to melt on top, tastes delicious!"
