Seared little gem with miso-honey butter

Pan-fried little gem glazed with miso honey butter and topped with pistachios and dill

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.
