About
This tender grilled lettuce is cooked until golden and lightly charred, then topped with a zesty anchovy and caper butter sauce.
This makes a great side to white fish, chicken or pork or could even be served as a lunch option on its own.

Instructions
- Wash the lettuce and slice in half lengthwise. Slice a thin layer from the tough base of the lettuce, ensuring all the leaves still remain intact.
