Categories     side-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1 teaspoon capers
1 teaspoon kosher salt
6 cloves garlic, peeled
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce, such as Tabasco
6 anchovy fillets and 1/2 teaspoon of their oil
1/2 to 3/4 cup olive oil
3 romaine hearts, halved lengthwise, washed and dried
Olive oil, for tossing
Kosher salt
1 lemon, juiced
20 fresh basil leaves, washed and dried
1 cup crumbled blue cheese, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill to medium.
  • For the dressing: In a blender, combine the lemon juice, vinegar, capers, salt and garlic. Blend until smooth. Add the Worcestershire, hot sauce, anchovies and 1/2 cup of the olive oil and blend until smooth. Taste for seasoning. Add the remaining olive oil if needed. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, toss 4 of the romaine halves in a little olive oil and season them with salt. Put them in a single layer on the grill and cook for 3 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side for 3 additional minutes; the romaine should feel slightly warm and tender. Transfer the halves to a large platter. Spoon a little dressing on each.
  • On a flat surface, finely chop the rest of the romaine and add it to a medium bowl. Add the remaining vinaigrette, a touch of lemon juice and the basil leaves. Toss to coat the romaine.
  • Top the grilled romaine with some of the chopped, dressed romaine. Garnish with crumbled blue cheese and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and crisp romaine lettuce for the best results.
  • Cut the romaine wedges into even sizes so that they cook evenly.
  • Season the romaine wedges with salt and pepper before grilling to enhance their flavor.
  • Grill the romaine wedges over medium heat until they are slightly charred and tender.
  • Make the tangy blue cheese vinaigrette by whisking together blue cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, milk, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper.
  • Drizzle the tangy blue cheese vinaigrette over the grilled romaine wedges and serve immediately.

Conclusion:
