Caesar Salad With Baby Romaine Recipes

Steps:

• Slice eggs in half; remove yolks. Refrigerate whites for another use. In a blender or food processor, combine the lemon juice, vinegar, anchovy, mustard, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, salt and egg yolks; cover and process until blended. While processing, gradually add oil in a steady stream. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour., In a salad bowl, combine the romaine, Parmesan cheese and croutons. Drizzle with dressing; toss to coat. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using the 2 whole garlic cloves, rub both sides of each baguette slice. Brush with 1 tablespoon oil, and season with salt and pepper. Bake until golden, about 12 minutes. Let cool. Break each crouton in half.
• Puree chopped garlic, anchovy, yolk, grated cheese, juice, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor. Pulse in 1/4 cup oil. Toss lettuce and croutons with 1/4 cup dressing. Season with pepper. Top with cheese shavings.

Steps:

• Make the dressing: Blend the lemon juice, anchovies, Worcestershire sauce, egg yolk, canola oil, garlic, lemon zest, mustard, honey, hot sauce and vinegar in a blender until well incorporated and fluffy. If the dressing is too thick, blend in a little cold water. Gently fold in the parmesan. (Store leftover dressing in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 1 week.)
• Make the salad: Slice the baby romaine lengthwise into spears, leaving some of the stem intact so the leaves don't separate. Put the lettuce in a large bowl, drizzle with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the dressing and gently toss with your hands (do not over-toss). Transfer to a large platter or bowl. Sprinkle with the grated parmesan. Add some croutons, crumbling them slightly as you add them. Sprinkle fresh lemon juice over the entire salad right before serving. Bon appetit!

Steps:

• Mash the garlic in a large wooden salad bowl, rubbing it well around the sides. Let it stand thus for a few minutes, then scrape out and discard the garlic pulp. Put the anchovy fillets and cheese into the bowl and mash them to a smooth paste. Coddle the egg by cooking it in fast-boiling water for one minute, just enough to cut the edge of rawness. Add this to the anchovy-cheese mixture and work smooth. Blend in the oil and vinegar. Neither salt nor pepper is needed.
• Make croutons by buttering the bread on both sides, cubing it small, and browning the croutons in the oven until crisp.
• Wash the romaine well, dry and crisp it. Break it into the bowl, sprinkle on the croutons and toss lightly in the dressing until every leaf is coated and the dressing absorbed by the croutons.
• For a memorable outdoor meal on a warm summer evening, serve an outsize bowl of Caesar salad with grilled steak sandwiches followed by peach shortcake.
