Instructions

Caesar Salad

  • Separate the romaine into leaves. Clean and dry thoroughly. Tear or cut into pieces if necessary. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • To prepare the dressing, mash together the garlic, anchovy fillets, salt, and pepper in a bowl to form a relatively smooth paste. Add the egg and the lemon juice and blend well. Gradually add the olive oil, whisking as it is added to form a thick emulsion. Stir in the Parmesan. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
  • Toss romaine with just enough dressing to coated. Serve with a a piece of toast.

Anchovy Buttered Toast

  • In a bowl, mash the anchovy and garlic into a paste. Cream the garlic, anchovy paste together with the butter, lemon juice, and pepper. Cover and set aside to allow the flavors to develop.
  • Slice the baguette and cover both sides with the butter. Place bread under the broiler until browned on both sides.
