INSALATE E ZUPPA

Method

INSALATE E ZUPPA

  1. 1

    Rinse romaine lettuce under cold water, pat dry thoroughly, and tear into bite-sized pieces. Place in a large chilled bowl.

  2. 2

    Make croutons: Preheat oven to 180C (350F). In a bowl, toss bread cubes with 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake 10–12 minutes, turning once, until golden and crisp. Cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Dressing preparation

    In a medium bowl, whisk together pasteurized egg yolks, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, anchovy paste, minced garlic, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth.

  4. 4

    Slowly drizzle in the remaining 0.75 cup extra-virgin olive oil while whisking vigorously to emulsify. Whisk in grated Parmesan until creamy. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper if desired.

  5. 5

    Assemble: In a large salad bowl, toss romaine with enough dressing to lightly coat leaves. Add croutons and shaved Parmesan; toss gently to combine.

  6. 6

    Serve immediately, with extra Parmesan on top if desired.
