Cooking Time – 5 minutes
Ingredients
1 medium iceberg lettuce, cut into 6 thick wedges
1 tbsp Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt
2 tbsp roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
1/3 cup coriander, sprigs picked
Nam Prik
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp ginger, peeled, chopped
1 long red chilli, roughly chopped
1 tbsp fish sauce
2 tsp brown sugar
Juice of 1 lime
1/2 vine tomato, peeled, chopped
Method
To make the Nam Prik, place everything into a small food processor and blitz until it is well combined. Taste for balance and set aside.
Heat a griddle pan over high heat. Drizzle the oil and a pinch of salt over the lettuce and cook for 1-2 minutes or until the lettuce is charred and smoky on the outside.
Arrange the lettuce onto a serving platter, then spoon over the Nam Prik while the lettuce is still warm. Garnish with peanuts and coriander before serving.
