Grilled Romaine Lettuce with Blue Cheese and Bacon
What? You haven’t grilled your lettuce yet? Give this a try! Not really a salad, but a hearty side dish!
from Saveur
INGREDIENTS
6 strips bacon
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
5 heads romaine lettuce, halved lengthwise, rinsed and dried
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 oz. blue cheese, crumbled
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Heat bacon in a 12" skillet over medium heat, and cook, turning once, until crisp and fat is rendered, about 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a plate, reserving 2 tbsp. drippings, and let cool; crumble and set aside. Transfer reserved drippings to a bowl, and add oil, vinegar, and Worcestershire; whisk until smooth, and set dressing aside.
2. Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to medium-high. (Alternatively, heat a cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat.) Working in batches, if necessary, place romaine halves cut-side down on grill, and cook, turning once, until charred and slightly wilted, about 4 minutes.
3. Transfer lettuce cut-side up to a serving platter, and season with salt and pepper; drizzle with dressing, and sprinkle with reserved bacon and blue cheese.

Market News
Hello!
We have some wonderful veggies for you this week as we slowly ease into summer. The cool weather crops are on their way out, and we are seeing the first summer squashes and cucumbers starting to come in. Enjoy the greens as we have them, as they usually don’t make it past June. Rocky Glade Farm has listed a very rare treat for Tennessee – rhubarb!
Just missed the strawberries, unfortunately, but still a great treat on its own!
This week will be a little different, as Tally of Turnbull Creek Farm will be on vacation this week with her family. There will be no flowers this week. However, we’ll be back in the routine next week, so hope you flower lovers can hang on until then! Also, there will be no pick ups this week at her farm in Bon Aqua.
The Bloomy RInd will not be offering any cheese selection this week. Please look for Kathleen’s picks next week.
As always, thanks so much for your support, and we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday
John and Tallahassee
