Smoked Oyster Caesar image

In this recipe, smoky canned oysters complement the rich egg yolks and provide flavor for oyster cracker croutons. Other canned fish are good Caesar salad material, providing they are packed in oil, which amps up their flavor almost to a condiment level of oomph.

Yield Serves 8 people

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 egg yolks
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons minced garlic
3 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 3.7-ounce can smoked oysters packed in oil
2 cups oyster crackers
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for serving
4 romaine hearts, bases removed and halved lengthwise
1/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese

Steps:

  • In a food processor fitted with the blade attachment, or in a blender, pulse the egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon, garlic, 2 teaspoons salt, and Worcestershire until thoroughly combined. With the machine running, add the vegetable oil very slowly to make an emulsified dressing.
  • Drain the oysters from their oil, reserving 1 tablespoon of the oil for the croutons. Add the drained oysters to the dressing and pulse until smooth.
  • Combine crackers, olive oil, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and black pepper with the reserved tablespoon of oyster oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, tossing often, until the crackers are toasty. Set aside to cool.
  • Put a spoonful of the dressing directly onto each plate. Place a romaine heart half, face up, on the dressing, and drizzle with additional dressing. Top with croutons, cracked black pepper and cheese.
  • Do ahead
  • Dressing can be made up to 7 days ahead. Pour into a container and keep chilled.

I'm not usually a fan of caesar salad, but this smoked oyster version was surprisingly delicious! The smokiness of the oysters added a really nice depth of flavor.
