Caesar Salad

Want to make a fantastic Caesar Salad? Here goes:



Ingredients:

1 large egg
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 medium garlic clove, crushed
1 pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons anchovy paste or 4 flat anchovies minced
1 teaspoon capers
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/3 cup virgin olive oil
2 medium heads of romaine lettuce -- outer leaves removed
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese -- grated

Preparation:

Coddle the egg--45 seconds. Remove from heat and let it cool off.

Mix in a bowl:
Worcestershire sauce
lemon juice
garlic
salt & pepper
anchovy
mustard
capers

Crack egg and add to these ingredients.

Whisk until smooth.

Slowly add the oil in a steady stream while constantly whisking again until smooth.
Reason: if you add the oil too quickly, the dressing will be separate and not emulsify.

To serve:

Tear the romaine lettuce into 1-2 inch pieces and add them to a large bowl (wooden if you have one).

Add half the dressing, toss.

Add remaining dressing, Parmesan cheese, and croutons and toss again.
