Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Baby Gems

    Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat. Rinse the baby gem lettuces under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

  2. 2

    Make the Anchovy Dressing

    In a small bowl, combine the anchovy fillets, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt. Use a fork to mash the anchovies and mix everything until smooth.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Grill the Baby Gems

    Slice each baby gem in half lengthwise. Brush the cut sides with the anchovy dressing. Place the baby gems cut-side down on the grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes until they have nice grill marks and are slightly wilted.

Serving

  1. 4

    Plate and Garnish

    Remove the grilled baby gems from the grill and place them on a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining anchovy dressing over the top. Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the grilled lettuce. Shave the parmesan cheese on top just before serving.
