Инструкции
- Caesar Salad:Preheat oven to 350 F.Using your fingers, pluck the doughy section of bread away from the crust leaving a 1/4-inch thick collar of crust. Place the crusty collars in a large bowl and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Toss and squish the bread like a sponge till the oil is proportionately absorbed.
- Place the oil-soaked crusty collars on a baking sheet, standing up so which the warm air can circulate through the "O", and bake for approximately 20 min, or possibly till collars are crispy and golden.
- Place the Large eggs, in their shell, in boiling water for 40 seconds. Remove, run under cool water for 15 seconds to stop the cooking process, then use as directed.
- To make caesar salad dressing, add in salt and pepper to the salad bowl (this creates a sandpaper-like base which will make the next steps easier). Using the back of a soup spoon, grind the garlic against the wall of the bowl till it becomes a paste. Then add in the anchovies, and once again use the back of the spoon to grind it into a paste. Follow the same procedure, adding the Dijon, egg yolk, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce one at a time. Make sure which each ingredient is blended into a smooth paste with the previous ingredients before proceeding.
- Add in the oil and vinegar. Blend well.
- To serve, stand lettuce leaves upright in crouton collars. Drizzle 2 Tbsp. of dressing overtop each serving, then sprinkle liberally with Parmegiano-Reggiano.
- Noteo If you do not have a rough wooden salad bowl, the dressing can be made (with some sacrifice) in a blender. Add in the salt, pepper, garlic, anchovies, Dijon, lemon juice, Worcestershire and vinegar. Puree. Then add in the oil and pulse a few times. Add in the yolk and pulse a couple more times-just sufficient to blend it without causing the dressing to turn mayonnaisey.
