Grilled Romaine Hearts

Approximate cooking time: 7 minutes

Serves 4

Ingredients:

3 to 4 romaine hearts
3 to 4 slices provolone cheese (optional)
3 Tbsp olive oil
2 teaspoons chopped fresh herbs such as rosemary, thyme, oregano (or 1 teaspoon dried mixed herbs)
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
salt and ground black pepper, to taste

Directions:

Prep the romaine hearts—pull off any old leaves. Chop off the top 1 or 2 inches of the lettuce head, and shave off the browned part of the root end, leaving the root end intact so that the lettuce head stays together.
Prepare your grill for high, direct heat. Drizzle the romaine with the oil and herbs.
Grill the romaine hearts until lightly browned on all sides, turning every minute or two until done. Optional: just before they are ready, lay a slice of provolone cheese over the romaine to melt.
Serve immediately. You can either serve the hearts whole, or chop them and toss them for a salad.
