Grilled Romaine Salad

ingredients (listed as 'per person')

• 1 slice bacon
• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 1/2 head of romaine, cut lengthwise
• extra virgin olive oil
• feta or blue cheese crumbles
• 1/4 cup Nan's Fig Balsamic Vinegar
• pat of butter

Chop bacon into small pieces, and combine with onions in a fry pan over medium heat. Once cooked, add fig balsamic vinegar, lower heat and simmer for a few minutes. (Take care here, as balsamic vinegar can burn easily). When it has reduced slightly, remove from heat and add the pat of butter. Stir to combine.

Have the heads of romaine cut lengthwise so they are held together by the stem. Brush with olive oil and place cut-side down on hot grill. When charred and slightly wilted, remove from heat and place on platter cut-side up. Spoon balsamic mixture over the the top. Sprinkle with the crumbled cheese. Enjoy!
