That sounds great! I saw an episode of “Kitchen Nightmares” a few weeks ago where the restaurant served grilled Caesar Salad. Chef Ramsey thought it was the most vile thing in the world and made them take it off their menu. I thought it looked pretty good. Chef Ramsey seems to be a bit pretentious.
We love it so I’d have to disagree with Chef Ramsey too. I hope you try it – let me know what you think.
I like grilled romaine as long as it’s not grilled to the point of wilting. Topped with a caesar vinaigrette and some shaved parm it can be really fun. Making sure it’s completely dried from water first is clutch, otherwise the water will steam and it’ll get wilty and gross.
Good tip! I was afraid of it getting too wilted and I didn’t drain the water before grilling – the inside was still crisp with a great smokey flavor and the outside was a bit wilted, but I LOVED it – which was a complete surprise to me. Next time I try it, I’ll make sure it’s drier and see if that changes it drastically for me.
