Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 heads Romaine lettuce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Cut each romaine head in half lengthwise, keeping the core intact so the leaves stay together.
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, juice of one lemon, chopped garlic, sea salt, and black pepper.
Brush the cut sides of the romaine lightly with the olive oil mixture, reserving some for drizzling before serving.
Place the romaine halves cut-side down on the preheated grill.
Grill for about 2 minutes until the leaves are slightly charred, then carefully flip and grill the other side for another 1-2 minutes.
Remove the romaine from the grill and drizzle with the remaining olive oil mixture.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle over the grilled romaine before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or light appetizer.
