Categories     side-dish

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1/2 seeded hoagie roll, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon Miss Brown's House Seasoning, recipe follows
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Creole or Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon anchovy paste
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan
1 clove garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 head romaine, halved lengthwise
1 tablespoon olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the croutons: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Toss the bread cubes with the oil and House Seasoning in a medium bowl. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown and toasted, about 10 minutes. Let cool.
  • For the dressing: Meanwhile, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, anchovy paste, Worcestershire sauce, Parmesan, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Whisk in water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the dressing is thin enough to drizzle.
  • For the salad: Heat a cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the cut sides of the romaine halves with the oil and season with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Place the halves cut-side down on the pan and cook until slightly charred, about 2 minutes. Transfer each half cut-side up on a plate. Drizzle with the dressing and top with the croutons, Parmesan and lemon zest.
  • Stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl.

SALAD: GRILLED CAESAR SALAD (ADAPTED FROM COOK'S COUNTRY) RECIPE - (5/5)



Salad: Grilled Caesar Salad (adapted from Cook's Country) Recipe - (5/5) image

Provided by SharonE

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ⁄4 cup olive oil (there should be no 1 in front of this, for some reason it keeps doing that on mobile)
1 ⁄2 cup mayonnaise (same thing here, just 1/2 cup)
1 ⁄4 cup parmesan cheese, grated (and again, just a 1/4 cup)
2 anchovy fillets, rinsed and patted dry (optional)
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup olive oil
large garlic clove cut in half
French baguette, sliced
3 romaine heads, sliced in half lengthwise
1 cup shredded parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Soak minced garlic clove in the lemon juice for 10 minutes to soften the garlic potency. Process mayonnaise, grated Parmesan, anchovy (if using), lemon juice and minced garlic, vinegar, Worcestershire, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in blender until smooth. With machine running, pour in reserved oil and process until thoroughly incorporated. Brush slices of baguette, on both sides, with olive oil. Place on hot grill, one minute each side. Spoon some of the dressing on the cut side of the romaine heads. If desired, sprinkle some of the parmesan on top. Grill on high heat, cut side down, for 1-2 minutes. Remove. You still want the lettuce to be crisp...just a little charred on the ends. Spread a little more dressing on each head, and sprinkle parmesan and black pepper. Serve with toasted baguette slices.

GRILLED CAESAR SALAD



Grilled Caesar Salad image

This recipe, from Alan Ashkinaze of the now-closed Millesime in Manhattan, came to The Times in 2012. In his version of the classic Caesar salad, a light grilling enhances the flavor of the romaine lettuce, which is then brushed with a dressing brightened by lime juice. The whole thing is finished with Parmesan, toasted on the grill. It comes together quickly, and it's a perfect pairing for a rib-eye, served along with a deep red.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 clove garlic, peeledand minced
4 anchovy fillets, rinsed and minced
3 egg yolks
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon lime zest
1 lime, juiced, approximately 2 tablespoons
1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 heads romaine lettuce, tops and bottoms trimmed neatly, the heads cut lengthwise into quarters
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Make the Caesar dressing. Put the minced garlic into a medium bowl, and add the minced anchovies. Using a whisk, mix and mash these ingredients together until they form a paste. Add the egg yolks and the mustard, and begin to whisk them with the paste. Add a small stream of olive oil while continuing to whisk. Add more olive oil, whisking all the while, until the dressing begins to emulsify. Add the Worcestershire sauce, and continue to whisk until the dressing achieves a mayonnaiselike consistency. Add the red-wine vinegar, whisk to combine, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Make the vinaigrette. Combine the lime zest, lime juice, balsamic vinegar and oil in another small bowl, and whisk to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Make the salad. Drizzle the olive oil over the quartered heads of lettuce. Lightly grill these over a low fire for 15 to 20 seconds on each side, until they have a light goldenness, and remove to a platter. Using a pastry brush or a small spoon, paint the Caesar dressing over the lettuce, making sure to get dressing between the leaves. Return lettuces to edges of grill, sprinkle with Parmesan and cover for 30 seconds to allow the cheese to soften and toast. Remove lettuce to a platter, and drizzle with lime vinaigrette. Serve two pieces each, alongside a steak.
