Preparation
Grilled Gem Lettuce
Pre-heat the oven to 200c/180c fan/gas mark 6.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a griddle or frying pan over a high heat.
Slice the little gem lettuces into half, and then half again.
When the pan is hot, add the lettuce to the pan and fry for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, so that they begin to char.
Transfer to a serving plate. Squeeze a little lemon juice on top and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Serve as part of a summer BBQ or as a super quick side dish to a Sunday roast lunch.
Slice the plums in half and remove the stones. Lay on a roasting tray and drizzle generously with honey. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, or until starting to soften.
Serve the roasted plums as an accompaniment to granola or porridge.
