Guest blogger alert! Ken filling in with another grilling post.
Ken: Readers of the blog know that The Josie Girl and our kids spend most of the summer in Oregon with her parents, while I go back and forth as much as possible. The Josie Girl’s mother (“Nana”) cooks food that is both amazing and healthy. So when I offer to step in to help and grill (the only way I can pitch in), I try to find recipes that utilize the grill while being somewhat non-artery clogging (exception: Beer Can Chicken from last summer). The latest find: Grilled Romaine with Honey Glazed Prosciutto and Sherry Vinaigrette (courtesy a class Nana signed me up for at Cook’s Pots and Table Tops from Caprial and John Pence).
Ingredients:
* 3 heads of romaine lettuce
* 1/3 cup of grated parmesan cheese
* 3 tablespoons of sherry vinegar
* 2 cloves of garlic, chopped
* 1 tablespoon of dijon mustard
* extra virgin olive oil (lots, used multiple times)
* salt and pepper
* 1/4 pound of diced prosciutto
* 1 tablespoon of honey
Step 1: Dressing
Combine the vinegar, garlic, and mustard in a mixing bowl.
Whisk until smooth. While whisking add in seven tablespoons of olive oil and salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready.
Step 2: Honey Glazed Prosciutto
Put 2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil in a pan and heat on the stove top.
Add diced prosciutto until it starts shriveling and darkening, then add honey to coat. Mix frequently.

Smells good

Yum. Hard not to pick.
Step 3: Grill the romaine
Gently wash romaine lettuce heads, cut in 1/2

These romaine lettuce heads were huge! Ideally, look for much smaller heads. My father-in-law said asked me if I thought he was a horse. I said no.
Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and place face down on the grill (0ver high heat).

Grill for about 2-4 minutes, or until the face has some nice grill marks.

Grill marks. Grill on other side for about a minute.
Step 4: Preparation
Lay ginormous romaine heads on a plate
Spoon dressing, sprinkle parmesan and prosciutto on top and serve.
Enjoy!
