Fried lettuce hearts

Spread the love

Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 4 lettuce hearts (romaine)
  • 1 Parmesan
  • 50 g pine nuts
  • Balsamic vinegar
  • olive oil
  • possibly sugar

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 15 minutes

Halve the lettuce hearts, leaving the stems on so they don’t fall apart. I also wrap some sewing thread around them to hold them together better. Toast the pine nuts in a dry pan. Then heat olive oil in the pan and fry the lettuce hearts cut-side down. Carefully turn them over. After about 1-2 minutes, place them cut-side down again and deglaze with balsamic vinegar. Let the vinegar simmer briefly and add a little sugar, if desired. Serve on plates. Sprinkle with the pine nuts and grate some Parmesan cheese over the top.
