- The following is a recipe I learned to make from a Puerto Rican
- Maitr'd in a Massachusetts' Supper Club about 15 years ago where
- I worked as a waiter and prepared this at tableside several times
- each night. Since then I've seen variations of this recipe in both
- Florida and Alabama restaurants; nevertheless, this is how I make
- it now, with excellent results, and I get rave reviews:
-
-
- 1 head of Romaine lettuce
- 2 or 3 cloves of garlic (more if you like 'em)
- 3 to 4 strips of anchovies (more if you like 'em)
- 2 to 3 tablesponns of coarsely ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon of Worchestershire Sauce
- 1 raw egg yolk (no longer popular or recommended; use discretion)
- 1 half freshly squeezed lemon, minus the seeds.
- 1 teaspoon of Grey Poupon mustard or your favorite D'jon
- 1 tablespoon of Red Wine Vinegar (use a preminum brand, please)
- 3 tablespoons of Olive Oil
- 1 cup of croutons (plain or flavored, use discretion)
- 3 to 4 tablespoons of Parmesan Cheese (use a preminum brand, please)
-
-
- Peel Romaine completely down to core and wash thoroughly in cold water;
- Drain well, towel dry, and set aside in refridgerator.
-
- In large stainless steel mixing or salad bowl,
- Mash the garlic, anchovies, and black pepper into a pulp using the flat
- side of a fork.
- Add Worchestershire, egg, and lemon, and mix well.
- Stir in oil and vinegar.
-
- Remove Romaine from refridgerator and add to mixing bowl; toss gently;
- When all greens are covered with dressing, add croutons and sprinkle
- generously with Parmesan Cheese.
- Accent with coarsely ground black pepper from pepper mill.
-
- Viola! A salad fit for an emperor! Compliments any entree or excellent alone;
- Great with either robust red or white wines!
-
- Enjoy!
