Grilled romaine, where have you been all my life?

I've heard friends talk about grilling their romaine.  I thought they were crazy, but I recently tried it because we had a wilting romaine, and I thought, what the heck?

I googled what to do with the romaine, and I found a recipe I liked.  I sold it to my kids as BBQ'd Cesar Salad.

Ingredients

1 romaine
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp Montreal steak spice
2 tbsp parmasean cheese
2 tbsp- 4  tbsp gf croutons (we got our gf croutons during Passover)
2 tbsp lemon juice

Directions

  1. Cut the romaine in half length wise and flip cut side up
  2. Drizzled olive oil and Montreal steak spice over romaine cut side up
  3. Place on BBQ set to medium heat cut side down for 5 minutes, or until nicely charred. I read that the romaine can handle it.  Some pieces might should crisp up like kale chips, some will wilt, and some will char.
  4. When ready, place cut side up.  Drizzle Parmesan cheese, gf croutons and lemon juice.
Cut and serve! Amanda and I eat a whole half each.  We use a steak knife to cut because the lettuce is wilted and doesn't cut well with anything less.
