Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 egg yolks
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3 teaspoons kosher salt
3/4 cup vegetable oil
One 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 heads halved lengthwise
1/4 cup grated Pecorino-Romano

Steps:

  • Pulse the egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon, garlic, Worcestershire and 2 teaspoons salt in a food processor fitted with the blade attachment or in a blender 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, black pepper and remaining teaspoon salt with the reserved 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 on each plate. Place a romaine heart half face-up on the dressing, then drizzle with additional dressing. Top with croutons, cracked black pepper and Pecorino-Romano.
