- Slice romaine horizontally to make 1-2” rounds, discarding ends and spines.
- Heat olive oil or bacon drippings in a large shallow skillet. Sauté garlic until soft – about 3 minutes, on medium high. Add in romaine pieces and continue sautéing until wilted.
- Sprinkle with lemon juice or zest and toss to coat.
- Place on a platter and sprinkle with crumbled cheese, either feta or gorgonzola. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Serving tip: Cooked greens make a nice “bed” upon which to lay a poached salmon fillet or sautéed chicken breast.
