FOR THE DRESSING

Instructions

  1. Keeping the stem on so it holds the leaves together, cut the romaine hearts in half lengthwise.
  2. Lay them on a tray, drizzle with olive oil, and brush well on all sides, especially the cut side.
  3. Sprinkle with salt flakes.
  4. Place the romaine hearts on a hot grill and cook until they pick up grill marks. Turn them over, drizzle with a little lemon juice, and grill for 1 more minute.
  5. Meanwhile, prepare the dressing: blend all the ingredients in a blender until smooth and emulsified into a silky sauce.
  6. For a thinner consistency, loosen with a little water.
  7. Transfer the romaine to a plate and, while still hot, brush the grilled side with the dressing (using a pastry brush).
  8. Once slightly cooled, serve by pouring over the remaining sauce and sprinkling with croutons and finely grated parmesan.

Tips

  • You can also grill the romaine in a very hot non-stick pan or grill pan. Leave for 1-2 minutes on each side, until deeply colored, without letting it soften too much.
