Grilled Hearts of Romaine

    Prep Time: 10 minutes

    Cook time: 8 minutes

    Yield: Serves 4

Grilled Hearts of Romaine Ingredients

    2 large romaine lettuces

    3 tablespoons olive oil

    8 slices pecornio pepato or pecorino Romano

    Sea salt

    Freshly ground black pepper

Grilled Hearts of Romaine Recipe Instructions

    Peal off the 4-5 outer leaves of each romaine and discard.

    With a sharp paring knife, cut off the end of the stem so it's even with the remaining leaves.

    Wash the inside of the leaves to remove grit, being careful to leave them attached to the stem. Shake off excess water.

    Using a sharp knife, cut each romaine the long way. Then cut each half again so one romaine makes 4 sections that look like long watermelon slices.

    Heat a bbq grill or preheat the oven to 500 degrees.

    Pour the olive oil on a flat plate and season with sea salt and pepper.

    Dredge all sides of each romaine lettuce section in the seasoned olive oil and place on the grill for 3-4 minutes or put on an aluminum lined roasting pan and place in the oven.

    Turn over and continue cooking another 3-4 minutes or until the top edges of the cut side of the romaine are browned.

    Remove from the oven. Place on a serving plate. Lay a thin slice of pecorino along the length of each piece of romaine.

    Serve warm.
