Griddled iceberg lettuce and prawn salad recipe

Name: Griddled iceberg lettuce and prawn salad
Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients: 150g (5oz) quick cook seven grains; 2 iceberg lettuces, cut into eighths, washed and patted dry; 2 tbsp olive oil; 1 x 165g pack raw peeled king prawns; 5 radishes, trimmed and sliced; 75g fresh coriander; 50g (1 3/4oz) flat-leaf parsley; 3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped; 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil; 1 green chilli, seeded and roughly chopped; 4 cherry tomatoes; ½ lemon, juiced

Make iceberg lettuce the star of this hearty salad by griddling it to add delicious smoky flavour. Tumbled with nutty grains, tender prawns, peppery radishes, and drizzled with a fiery, herby sauce, it makes a tasty lunch or could be enjoyed as a barbecue dish in summer. On top of that, it is low in saturates, low in salt, and a great source of protein and vitamin C.

Method

Soak 4 wooden skewers for 10 mins. Meanwhile, make the sauce. In a food processor, finely chop the coriander and parsley. Add the other ingredients, seasoning and 2-3 tsp water to loosen, and whizz until well combined. Set aside.
Cook the grains following the pack instructions. Drain; set aside.
Meanwhile, toss the lettuce wedges with 1 tbsp oil; season. Heat a griddle pan and cook a few wedges at a time for 2-3 mins, turning halfway, until char lines appear. Remove; set aside.
Toss the prawns with 1 tbsp oil, then thread onto the skewers. Heat the griddle until hot and cook the prawn skewers for 2 mins, or until pink. Turn and cook for 1 min, or until cooked through.
Divide the radishes, grains, lettuce and prawns between 4 plates. Drizzle over half the sauce and serve the rest in a bowl alongside.
