Grilled Romaine Lettuce

Ingredients

• 3  to 4 romaine hearts 
• 3 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin 
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar (or cider vinegar)
• 2 teaspoons herbs such as rosemary mixed dried fresh chopped (or 1 teaspoon herbs)
• 0.3 teaspoon salt 
• 1 pinch pepper black freshly ground

Equipment

• bowl
• whisk
• grill

Directions

1. 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.
2. Prepare your grill for high, direct heat.
3. 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.
4. Grill: Grill the romaine hearts until lightly browned on all sides, turning every minute or two until done.
5. Serve immediately. You can either serve the hearts whole, or chop them and toss them for a salad.
