BBQ grilled pecan salad

Recipes Salads
Many are wary of grilling lettuce, but heat works wonders with it. The tough leaves of Romaine lettuce withstand heat treatment: the outer leaves caramelise and gain a smoky flavour, while the inner heart remains crisp and fresh. This play of textures between cold and warm, raw and cooked, makes this dish exciting.

Instructions

1 ✓

Wash the Romaine lettuce, but do not cut off the stem! Cut in half lengthwise, through the core.

Tip: The core holds the leaves together so it doesn't fall apart on the grill.
2 ✓

Mix the oil, spices, and a little BBQ sauce. Brush the cut surface of the lettuce with it.

Tip: The oil protects the leaves from burning, and the spices activate under heat.
3 ✓

Toast the pecans in a dry frying pan for a few minutes until fragrant.

Tip: Toasting brings out the oils in the nut, making the flavour more intense.
4 ✓

Place the lettuce on the hot grill, cut side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes until grill marks appear.

Tip: Don't leave it, as the leaf edges can burn quickly (carbonisation).
5 ✓

Place on a plate, mix the remaining BBQ sauce with the honey (this will be the dressing), and drizzle over.

Tip: The sweetness of the honey counteracts the slight bitterness of the lettuce.
6 ✓

Sprinkle with crumbled feta, toasted nuts, and parsley.

Tip: The salty cheese and sweet dressing create a classic harmony of flavours.

Recipe FAQ

The lettuce wilted.
You cooked it too long. You only need to 'scare' the lettuce on the grill, 1-2 minutes per side is plenty.
What lettuce is good for this?
Only compact, firm-leaved lettuces like Romaine or Endive. Iceberg lettuce is too watery, butterhead lettuce is too soft.
