1
Prepare the Anchovy Dripping
In a small saucepan, combine the olive oil and anchovy fillets. Heat over low heat until the anchovies dissolve into the oil. This should take about 5 minutes.
2
Add Garlic and Seasonings
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the anchovy oil mixture along with lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

3
Prepare the Baby Gems
Cut the Baby Gem lettuce in half lengthwise. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
4
Grill the Baby Gems
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the Baby Gem halves cut-side down on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they have nice grill marks and are slightly wilted. Flip them and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes.

5
Plate the Dish
Arrange the grilled Baby Gems on a serving platter. Drizzle the warm anchovy dripping over the top.
6
Garnish
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese over the grilled Baby Gems before serving.
