Steps for lettuce and herb mayonnaise
- Lettuce: plunge pre-cleaned lettuces into boiling salted water for around 10 min, then cool quickly in iced water, drain and set aside. Do not discard the cooking water.
- Herb purée: in the same cooking water, cook the herbs for approx. 7 min, then plunge them into iced water, drain and blend to obtain a smooth herb purée.
- Chips and onion purée: peel and slice the onions. Cut 1 onion finely with a mandolin and dry in the oven at 120°C for 45 min with a little oil and fine salt.
- Sweat the remaining onions in butter with a pinch of salt and a tablespoon of sugar. When they have melted, add the flour, stir, then add the milk. Bring to the boil and blend to obtain a soubise sauce.
- Finishing: make a thick mayonnaise and add the herb puree. Light your barbecue and grill the well-drained lettuces.
- Arrange the grilled lettuce in the center of the plate, with a dollop of soubise sauce alongside. Add dots of herb mayonnaise over the lettuce, sprinkle with onion chips and fresh herbs.
