Spatula Diaries: Garden and grill

“The days are longer and spring is here, and that means an enthusiastic turn to fresh produce and to the grill,” writes 225 food blogger Maggie Heyn Richardson. “Few dishes fuse the two cravings like grilled romaine hearts, which may quickly become your top side-dish this season. Slice romaine hearts down the middle and brush both sides with olive oil. Hit them with a little kosher salt and fresh black pepper, and grill over medium-hot charcoal for a minute or two. You’re only going for a quick sear, so keep a close watch to ensure they don’t overcook or shrink too much. That’s it! You’re done.” Find out how you can dress up this tasty side in this week’s Spatula Diaries by clicking here.
