Courses: Salads1 | Romaine lettuce head | |
1 | Egg yolk - coddled | |
2 | Garlic cloves - finely chopped (large) | |
2 tablespoons | 30ml | Dijon mustard |
1/4 teaspoon | 1.3ml | Salt |
2 tablespoons | 30ml | Fresh lemon juice |
1/2 cup | 118ml | Extra-virgin olive oil |
2 oz | 56g | Anchovy fillets - (1 can) - drained, chop fine |
Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste | ||
1/4 cup | 36g / 1.3oz | Freshly-grated Parmesan cheese |
1 cup | 30g / 1.1oz | Toasted croutons |
Clean the lettuce of the tough outer leaves, hand-tear into bite size pieces, and carefully wash and dry.
In a wooden bowl, combine the cooked egg yolk, garlic, mustard, salt and lemon juice. Using a wire whisk, combine the mixture until smooth and creamy. Then add the Romaine lettuce leaves and coat them completely. Add the olive oil by pouring in a slow, steady stream to produce a smooth, creaminess in the salad. Add the anchovies by mixing in evenly the chopped bits. Season with freshly-ground black pepper to taste. Add the Parmesan cheese and the toasted croutons and toss the salad again to coat the greens evenly.
This recipe yields 4 servings.
