2 ounces | almonds, chopped |
1/4 cup | extra-virgin olive oil |
2 large | shallots, thinly sliced |
2 large | garlic cloves, thinly sliced |
2 tablespoons | unsalted butter |
5 large | romaine lettuce hearts, halved lengthwise |
Salt and freshly ground pepper | |
1 cup | chicken stock |
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons | Moscatel vinegar or white balsamic vinegar |
1/2 cup | cilantro leaves |
Preheat the oven to 375°. Spread the almonds on a pie plate and toast for about 7 minutes, until golden.
In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the shallots and garlic. Cook over moderate heat until lightly browned; scrape into a large roasting pan. Add the butter and the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the skillet. Add the romaine, cut side down, and cook over high heat until browned. Transfer to the roasting pan, cut side up; season with salt and pepper. Add the stock to the skillet and bring to a boil; pour over the romaine. Cover with foil, transfer to the oven and braise for 10 minutes, until the romaine is crisp-tender. Transfer to a platter and drizzle with some of the braising liquid.
In a skillet, boil the vinegar until reduced by half. Drizzle over the romaine, garnish with the almonds and cilantro; serve.
