Grilled Romaine

Ross I really mean this: That has to be one of the healthest, best looking meals I have seen. The color and texture just work. My cardiologest would kiss you!! However WHERE'S THE BEEF?! :laugh:

Did you use a caeser dressing and cheese on the romaine before grilling. I am curious how it turned out.

Looks like a great meal Ross. I'm just wondering how this grilled romaine tastes? I love romaine cold in a salad but grilled? I guess I'll have to try it and see for myself.

I'm still puzzled by the photos. Is it grilled cheese side down, or is the dressing and cheese added afterwards?

Anne,

I had the same thoughts as you - grilled lettuce - yuck!

But, I tried it and loved it. I use FrankC's recipe:

Split lengthwise, drizzle with EVOO, coat with parmesian (get both into the leaves), then grill hot and fast until it chars a little. We cut is bite-sized pieces, drizzle with a little balsamic vinegar and serve.

My favorite is to have unsuspecting guests, cook the meat & have it resting. Without saying anything, prepare the Romaine, then take it out and grill it. When you come back in, they have dropped their jaws - grilled lettuce? Serve it up and most will love it. :woohoo: Occasionally get one who turns their nose up. :(

I guess I am confused.

How does the cheese not fall off when you put it face down on the grill?
