Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons olive oil plus more for the baking sheet
- 2 heads (1 lb) romaine lettuce
- 2 inches anchovy paste or 2 anchovy fillets pressed through a garlic press
- 2 cloves garlic pressed
- freshly ground black pepper
- shaved Parmesan cheese to serve (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Slick a rimmed baking sheet with oil.
- Rinse the romaine lettuce. Drain and then pat it completely dry. Slice each head in half lengthwise and place the halves on the baking sheet, cut side up.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the anchovy paste, garlic, and olive oil, until smoothly blended. Divide the anchovy mixture among the romaine halves and use a pastry brush to coat the lettuce. Sprinkle with black pepper.
- Bake until the lettuce is wilted and brown at the edges, 8 to 13 minutes, depending on the size of the lettuce heads.
- Immediately sprinkle with the shaved Parmesan, if desired, and serve right away.
