Charred Coz Lettuce
Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
- 2 heads fresh Cos lettuce
- 2 tablespoons of high-quality olive oil
- 1 tbsp of soy sauce
- 2 cloves of minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon of sesame seeds
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 Zesty lemon wedges for garnish
Instructions
- Start by preheating your Teppanyaki grill to medium-high heat. The key to this recipe is to achieve a beautiful char on the lettuce while keeping it fresh inside.
- While the grill is heating up, prepare the lettuce. Cut each head of Cos lettuce in half lengthwise, leaving the root intact to hold the leaves together.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. This flavorful dressing will elevate the taste of the lettuce.
- Brush the lettuce halves generously with the olive oil mixture, ensuring the leaves are well-coated. This will help them caramelize beautifully on the grill.
- Place the lettuce halves on the Teppanyaki grill, cut side down. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges char and the lettuce wilts slightly, but still maintains its freshness.
- Carefully flip the lettuce using tongs and grill for an additional 2 minutes on the other side. The goal is to create a balance between smoky char and the crispness of the lettuce.
- Once grilled to perfection, remove the lettuce from the grill and place it on a serving platter.
- Drizzle any remaining dressing over the charred Cos lettuce and sprinkle with sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
- Serve immediately with zesty lemon wedges on the side for a bright, citrusy touch.
