Grilled Iceberg Wedges with Buttermilk-Basil Dressing

Ingredients for Grilled Iceberg Wedges with Buttermilk-Basil Dressing

• 3 strips of thick-cut streaky bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces

• 120ml buttermilk

• 120ml de crema agria

• 1 cucharada de vinagre de vino blanco

• 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped basil

• Sal

• Pimienta recién molida

• 1 small head of iceberg lettuce, outer leaves removed, head quartered through the core

• Vegetable oil, for brushing

Light a barbecue and preheat for at least 10 minutes or preheat a barbecue pan. In a medium frying pan, cook the streaky bacon over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp but still slightly chewy, about 5 minutes. (You could do this in a cast-iron frying pan right over the barbecue).

In a medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk with the soured cream, vinegar and basil. Season with salt and pepper.

Brush the cut sides of the iceberg wedges with oil and season with salt. Barbecue over moderately high heat until the edges are browned and barbecue marks form, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn to brown the other cut side, 1 to 2 minutes longer.

Transfer the wedges to a platter and drizzle with half of the dressing. Sprinkle with the streaky bacon and serve, passing the remaining dressing at the table.
