GRILLED CAESAR SALAD



Grilled Caesar Salad image

Caesar salad (see following recipe) is not a traditional Italian recipe, and the grilled Caesar salad seems to be a recent phenomenon. Nino Germano, the presiding chef-owner at La Scala in Baltimore, told us how, purely by accident, he invented the grilled Caesar salad. During a busy evening in the kitchen, a cut head of young romaine lettuce fell on the grill. Nino, a frugal padrone, set it aside, and when the evening was over and it was time to have his dinner, he decided to dress that grilled romaine as he would a regular Caesar salad. And so the recipe was born.

Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups 1/2-inch cubes of country bread
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Yolk of 1 large hard-boiled egg
4 garlic cloves
4 anchovy fillets
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, for seasoning
3 heads (1 package) romaine hearts, trimmed and halved lengthwise
1/4 cup grated Grana Padano or Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus a 2-ounce piece for shaving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Preheat a stovetop griddle that fits over two burners over medium-high heat. Scatter the bread cubes on a baking sheet, toss with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, and toast in the oven, or scatter and toast on the griddle, until crisp throughout, about 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Combine the egg yolk, garlic, anchovies, vinegar, lemon juice, and mustard in a mini-food processor. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides of the work bowl as needed. With the processor running, pour 4 tablespoons olive oil through the feed tube to make a smooth dressing. Season with the salt and pepper.
  • Drizzle the romaine hearts with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, brushing all over to coat evenly. Lay the romaine on the grill pan, cut side down. Grill just until marked and slightly wilted, about 2 minutes.
  • Arrange the grilled romaine on a platter. Drizzle most of the dressing over them, sprinkle on the grated cheese and croutons, and then drizzle the remaining dressing on top. Use a vegetable peeler to shave slivers of Grana Padano or Parmigiano-Reggiano all over the top of the salad.
