Instructions
- Preheat the grill for 20 minutes on very low heat.
- Cut the lettuce in half. Brush the insides generously with olive oil. Place lettuce face down on the grill and grill with the lid open for a few minutes on each side. After flipping carefully, brush with some more olive oil. Grill until outer leaves are a bit charred.
- Shave the manchego cheese with a vegetable peeler or the slicing blade of a grater. Cut prosciutto into bite-sized pieces. Chop the lettuce into smaller pieces.
- In a deep bowl, combine lettuce with the rest of the olive oil. Drizzle with lemon juice, season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
- Top with layered cheese shavings and prosciutto pieces. Serve warm.
No barbecue prep
If you don't have a barbecue, to grill the lettuce, you can use a cast iron griddle on the stovetop.
