Grilled Hearts of Romaine image

This is truly and ridiculously easy. The trick is to get the grill grates very hot. And the result? A lightly caramelized surface and a slightly smoky flavor. The insides stay cool and crisp. It's quite a contrast of tastes and textures.

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 romaine lettuce hearts, halved lengthwise
1 tablespoon olive oil, divided, or as needed
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, or to taste

2 tablespoons sherry vinegar, or to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
  • Brush each romaine lettuce half with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil.
  • Cook romaine hearts, cut-side down, on the preheated grill until the cut-side is slightly caramelized but the inside is still cool and crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer lettuce, cut-side up, to a platter. Sprinkle Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese over lettuce and drizzle balsamic vinegar, sherry vinegar, and 2 tablespoons olive oil over the top.
