Grilled Romaine Caesar Salad

Grilled romaine caesar salad!

Try this version of a caesar salad, it will blow your socks off!

Recipe for four:

4 heads of romaine, trimmed, ends left intact and cut in half lengthwise
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 t Dijon mustard
4 anchovy fillets, finely chopped
juice of one lemon
2 turns of freshly ground black pepper
2 egg yolks
olive oil

Mix all the ingredients together except the olive oil, when everything is mixed really well, using a whisk, ask your partner to start very slowly drizzling in the olive oil while you are whisking away.  If you do this too quickly the dressing will break and you will have to start over.  Keep adding olive oil until you get a nice light and fluffy dressing.

This can be done in a food processor if you like.

Lightly brush the romaine with olive oil.  Making sure the grill is really hot, quickly grill the romaine, this won't take more than a few seconds.  Serve with fresh sourdough croutons and a protein of your choice.

Bon appetit!  Chef Hobbes
