Seared little gem with miso-honey butter

Gebakken little gem geglaceerd met miso-honingboter en getopt met pistachenoten en dille

Lettuce, but better. Grill little gem in the pan until it gets nicely charred edges, finish it with a miso-honey butter spooned over the leaves one ladle at a time and top with pistachios and dill. Done in fifteen minutes, but with a surprisingly elegant flavour.

Serves: 2

Ingredients

  • 2 little gem lettuces
  • 50 g butter (at room temperature)
  • 1 tbsp miso paste
  • 1 tsp honey

Toppings

  • Chopped pistachios
  • Dill

Method

  1. Mix the butter, miso paste and honey thoroughly (with a fork or whisk) and set aside.
  2. Heat a frying pan with a little oil. Halve the little gems lengthways. Sear them on high heat for a few minutes on the cut side. Sprinkle both sides with a little salt and pepper.
  3. Glazing: place a generous spoonful of the miso butter on the warm lettuce in the pan and let it melt. Spoon the melted butter over the lettuce a few times (basting) so everything is well coated.
  4. Serve immediately and finish with the chopped pistachios and fresh dill.
