Zuni Cafe Caesar Salad!

This time of year is Caesar Salad time... particularly on a hot evening when you don't want to turn on the stove. I have very high standards and have found that this recipe from the Zuni Cafe is flawless if directions are followed.

1. Get one large head of high quality romaine lettuce. Green and not too watery.
2. Combine 2 eggs, 1/4 cup wine vinegar, juice of 1 squeezed lemon, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp coarse ground pepper, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1 tsp worchestire, 4 crushed garlic cloves (minimum).
3. Open a can of anchovies and run warm water over them at a trickle. After 3 minutes remove anchovies from the can and pat dry with a paper towel. Place anchovies on a cutting boards and crush with a knife into a paste. Add to the above combined ingredients.
3. Ensure that the romaine leaves are dry after washing and seperating. Pour dressing over leaves and add 1/3 cup of grated parmesan. Add 2 cups of croutons and mix all ingredients by hand.

This should be one of the better caesar salads you've had. Excellent with a good beer, gin and tonic or white wine.
