- Place the garlic butter in baking paper and freeze until firm.
- Rub the ribs with the olive oil, rosemary, salt and pepper. Braai for 10 minutes on each side, or until charred.
- Char the lettuce over a high heat on for 30 seconds on each side.
- Slice the butter and allow it to melt on the hot meat to make a sauce. Serve with the charred lettuce.
Cook's note: A quick char adds delicious smokiness to whole heads of cos, endives and little gems, which have been cut in half and grilled cut-side down. Remove any limp outer leaves and make sure the fire is hot (you just want a quick sear for colou and smoky flavour). Brush the cut sides with oil, season and grill for 30 seconds per side.
