BLT CAESAR
Steps:
- The BLT Caesar is Chuck Hughes' ingenious take on the classic Caesar featuring a prosciutto rim, lettuce ice cubes and a kick of fresh horseradish.
- For the prosciutto rim: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- On a baking tray lined with parchment paper, place the slices of prosciutto, cover with another sheet of parchment paper and another baking tray. Cook in the oven until crispy, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- Using a spice grinder, reduce the prosciutto to powder with the smoked salt and peppercorns.
- For the lettuce ice cubes: Cut the lettuce head into 3 parts. Blanch the lettuce leaves in salted boiling water for 1 minute. Remove, drain, place in a bowl containing icy cold water and then drain again. Using a blender, reduce to a puree with the lemon juice and a dash of hot sauce. Add a little bit of water if too thick. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into an ice cube tray. Freeze for 2 hours, or until ready to use.
- For the Caesar: Rim 4 glasses with lemon juice and then dip in the prosciutto mixture. Drop 3 lettuce ice cubes in the bottom of each glass. Fill the glasses with 1/4 cup vodka, then with 1/4 cup tomato juice. Add a dash of hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Garnish with freshly grated horseradish and lemon wedges.
Tips:
- For a crispy bacon, cook it in a single layer in a large skillet over medium heat. Flip the bacon occasionally until it is evenly browned and crispy.
- To make the croutons, cut the bread into 1-inch cubes and toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the cubes on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Use a good quality mayonnaise for the dressing. Homemade mayonnaise is best, but you can also use a store-bought mayonnaise if you prefer.
- To give the dressing a little extra flavor, add a teaspoon of anchovy paste or Worcestershire sauce. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- If you are using romaine lettuce, be sure to wash and dry it thoroughly before assembling the salad. You can also use other types of lettuce, such as butterhead lettuce or arugula.
- To assemble the salad, place the lettuce on a large platter or individual plates. Top with the bacon, croutons, and Parmesan cheese. Drizzle with the dressing and serve immediately.
Conclusion:
The BLT Caesar salad is a delicious and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover bacon and lettuce, and it is also a healthy and satisfying meal. With its crispy bacon, creamy dressing, and crunchy croutons, the BLT Caesar salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
