      Title: Grilled Romaine Panzanella
 Categories: Greens, Breads, Cheese, Herbs, Pork
      Yield: 8 Servings
 
      1 md Heart of romaine lettuce;
           - halved lengthwise
    1/4    Loaf ciabatta bread; halved
           - horizontally
      1 tb Olive oil
      1 c  Grape and/or cherry
           - tomatoes
      3 sl Bacon
      3 tb Fine chopped red onion
      3 tb Red wine vinegar
    1/2 ts Honey
    1/8 ts (ea) salt & ground black
           - pepper
    1/2 c  Torn fresh basil
    1/4 c  Shredded white cheddar
           - cheese
 
  Brush cut sides of lettuce and bread with 1 tablespoon of
  the oil. Thread tomatoes onto skewers,* leaving 1/4 inch
  between each tomato. For a charcoal or gas grill, place
  lettuce and bread, cut sides down, and tomato skewers on
  the rack of a covered grill directly over medium heat.
  Grill for 2 to 4 minutes or until light grill marks appear
  on lettuce and tomatoes and bread is toasted, removing
  food from grill as it is done. Coarsely chop lettuce and
  cut bread into 1-inch pieces. Remove tomatoes from
  skewers.
  
  For vinaigrette, in a large skillet cook bacon over medium
  heat until crisp. Remove bacon and drain on paper towels,
  reserving drippings in skillet. Cut up bacon; set aside.
  If necessary, add enough of the remaining 1 tablespoon oil
  to the reserved drippings to equal 3 tablespoons. Add
  onion to the reserved drippings; cook until tender,
  stirring occasionally. Add vinegar, honey, salt, and
  pepper. Cook about 1 minute more or until reduced
  slightly, stirring to scrape up crusty browned bits.
  
  In a large bowl combine lettuce, bread, tomatoes, bacon,
  basil, and cheese. Drizzle with vinaigrette; toss gently
  to coat. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving.
  
  * TIP: If using wooden skewers, soak in water for at least
       30    minutes; drain before using.
