Simple and sophisticated describe this week's recipe to a T. Instead of making the same, albeit delicious salad you've been making with all of that gorgeous romaine, try this recipe and I guarantee you'll feel like you're at a nice restaurant. The flavors are complex yet bright, and it's so easy to make that I did it in about 5 minutes with a 9 month old on my hip. It doesn't get much better that that, now does it? Enjoy!
Charred Romaine with Crispy Onions
- 1 head of romaine lettuce, outer leaves trimmed
- 1/4 cup sliced onion
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 4 tbs. olive oil
- half a lemon
- salt and pepper
- parmesan cheese
Using your gas burner or grill, spray a bit of cooking oil onto the grate and start a low flame. Place the bunch of romaine right over the flame and cook until char marks form, about 3 minutes on each side.
Immediately plate the romaine and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Pile the crispy onions on top and finish with a generous sprinkle of lemon juice.
