Heat a griddle pan or non-stick frying pan over a medium heat, add the lettuce, cut-side down, and cook for about 2 min until it starts to char. Remove from the pan and set aside on a serving plate.

    2 Add another 1 teaspoon oil to the pan or griddle, add the cubes of bread and the oregano, sprinkle with black pepper and fry over a medium heat for about 5 min until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside with the lettuce.
