- 50 g tahini
- juice of ½ a lemon
- salt
- water as needed, about 30 g.
- 75 g roquefort or other blue cheese.
- olive oil
- sesame seeds for garnish black, white or mix
Instructions
- Prepare the tahini by mixing it with lemon juice and salt, then slowly adding water and stir till reaching a joghurt like consistency.
- Prepare the lettuce by removing the bottom edge, as little as possibl. Cut in half lengthwise. Carefully loosen up the leaves, and crumble the blue cheese in between the layers.
- Add a bit of olive oil into a large pan and heat up until very hot but not smoking. Add the lettuce, cut side down. After about a minute, lower the heat a little, and let cook for 2-3 more minutes. The blue cheese will start to melt, you can scrape it on the salad using a spatula, it will be caramelized and crunchy and great.
- To plate, spread a generous spoonful of tahini, top with half a lettuce (not forgetting all the crunchy cheese crumbs from the pan) then sprinkle with sesame.
