Recipe from Something New For Dinner
Fire up that grill and throw on some lettuce! It may sound strange if you have never tried it before but the tender lettuces in your box this week can be utterly transformed by heat. Imagine crisp caramelized edges contrasting with a sweet center- talk about a unique alternative to your average salad! Add some grilled steak or tofu (or even fish) to make this a meal.
2 T finely chopped shallot
1 T balsamic vinegar
1 T Spanish sherry vinegar
6 T olive oil, plus some for brushing the lettuce
2 small heads of lettuce, sliced in half from stem to stern
3 ounces crumbled feta cheese
1/4 t crushed red pepper flakes
In a small bowl combine shallot and vinegars. Whisk in olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Heat grill to medium and lightly oil the grate. Brush the lettuce with a little olive oil and grill for 1 - 2 minutes on either side until lettuce is lightly charred.
Plate lettuce cut-side up, drizzle with dressing, top with feta cheese and sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes.
