Caesar Salad
Ingredients:
2 small crusty sourdough bread rolls, torn into bite-sized pieces
Olive oil spray
4 bacon rashers, rind removed, coarsely chopped
1 cos lettuce, leaves separated
60g parmesan, finely grated
Dressing
1 egg
1 egg
2 garlic cloves, crushed
3 drained anchovy fillets
2 tbs fresh lemon juice
60ml (1/4 cup) olive oil
60ml (1/4 cup) grapeseed oil
Directions:
Preheat oven to 180°C. Spread
bread, in a single layer, on a baking tray and spray with oil. Bake for
10-15 minutes or until crisp and golden. Set aside to cool completely.
Meanwhile, to make the dressing,
bring a saucepan of water to the boil over high heat. Add the whole
unpeeled egg and cook for 2-3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove egg
from the water. Crack the egg into a bowl and use a teaspoon to remove
any remaining egg from the shell. Place the egg, garlic, anchovies and
half the lemon juice in a food processor and process to combine. With
the motor running, add the combined oil in a thin, steady stream until
the dressing is thick, adding a little of the remaining lemon juice
until the dressing is a pourable consistency. Season with pepper.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over
medium heat. Cook the bacon, stirring, for 3-4 minutes or until crisp
and browned. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel.
Combine the lettuce, croutons, bacon
and half the parmesan on a serving platter. Drizzle over the dressing
and top with the remaining parmesan.
