Vincent Price's Caesar Salad For A Busy Cook

Type: Cheese, Eggs
Courses: Salads
Serves: 4 people

Recipe Ingredients

2   Romaine lettuce - washed and dried
1   Garlic - peeled
3/4 cup 177mlOlive oil
1   Cayenne pepper
1   Tabasco -sauce
1 teaspoon 5mlSugar
1   Anchovy paste
  Black pepper - freshly ground
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlSalt
1   Egg
1   Lemon - juiced (large)
  Freshly parmesan cheese - grated
  Croutons

Recipe Instructions

Place the peeled garlic clove in olive oil in a container with a tight-fitting lid; set aside overnight. Remove and discard garlic from oil; add cayenne, Tabasco, sugar, and anchovy paste. Shake well to mix; set aside. Tear the lettuce leaves into smaller pieces and place in a large salad bowl.

Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour the seasoned oil over all and toss gently so that all leaves are well coated. Boil the egg for 1 minute (bring water to a boil, lower egg into water with a large spoon and begin timing).

Crack the shell and drop egg into salad. Squeeze lemon juice over egg and stir gently into salad. It will have a creamy appearance. Just before serving, sprinkle cheese over all and add croutons.

Toss lightly to mix.

NOTES : This recipe contains a partially-cooked egg. If you are concerned about salmonella, substitute an equivalent amount of Egg Beaters or other egg substitute.
