Provided by Mykee Del Mundo

Categories     Lunch

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 oil-packed anchovy fillets, drained
1 large egg yolk
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
2 teaspoons McCormick® Garlic Powder
1 lemon, juiced
⅓ cup canola oil
⅓ cup parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
½ teaspoon kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
¾ cup all purpose flour
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon McCormick® Garlic Powder
½ teaspoon McCormick® Paprika
2 large eggs
½ cup buttermilk
1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
canola oil, for frying
8 little gem lettuces, cut into 1 in (2.54 cm)
2 cups cherry tomato, halved

Steps:

  • Make the Caesar dressing: In a blender or food processor, combine the anchovies, egg yolk, Dijon mustard, McCormick® Garlic Powder, lemon juice, and canola oil. Blend until combined with a consistency similar to mayonnaise. Add the Parmesan, salt, and pepper to taste, and blend until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Make the fried chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt, McCormick® Garlic Powder, and McCormick® Paprika. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk.
  • Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. Coat the chicken in the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, then again in the flour mixture.
  • Heat ½ inch of canola oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, add the chicken thighs to the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crisp, 6-8 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool, then cut into 1-inch cubes.
  • Make the salad: In a large bowl, gently toss together the Little Gem lettuce, tomatoes, and Caesar dressing. Garnish with fried chicken croutons and more Parmesan.
  • Enjoy!

FRIED SHALLOT CAESAR SALAD



Fried Shallot Caesar Salad image

The dressing here is great on this salad, but it can find a second (and third, and fourth) life in so many other simple meals. Use it as a dip for grilled asparagus and broccolini; slather it on burgers and BLTs; or combine it 50-50 with Greek yogurt and add chopped dill and black pepper to make a fried shallot Ranch dressing for dipping crudités (or chicken wings). Add it to a roast beef sandwich (or just serve it with the roast beef). It's a great party dip for chips (or anything you'd serve French onion dip with). This recipe calls for making the mayo from scratch, but you can use store-bought mayo as the base to make it even easier.

Categories     dinner, lunch, weeknight, salads and dressings, appetizer, main course, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup homemade or store-bought fried shallots
1 whole egg
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 medium garlic cloves
1/2 cup neutral oil, such as canola or rice bran
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and black pepper
1/2 cup homemade or store-bought fried shallots
2 heads romaine, crisp inner leaves only, washed and carefully dried, torn or chopped into large pieces
1 ounce finely grated Parmesan (about ½ cup), plus more for serving
Anchovies, left whole or torn into pieces (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare the shallot aioli: Combine shallots, egg, lemon juice, mustard, fish sauce, Worcestershire sauce and garlic in the bottom of a jar just wide enough to fit the head of an immersion blender (see Tip). Add the neutral oil, pouring it in slowly so that it forms a distinct layer on top of the other ingredients. Place the head of an immersion blender all the way at the bottom of the jar. Turn on the blender and slowly pull it up through the jar so that the oil is slowly incorporated and forms a creamy emulsion.
  • Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl. Whisk in the extra-virgin olive oil, then whisk in water as needed until the dressing forms a light, creamy consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Prepare the salad: If using homemade shallots, skip to Step 4. If using store-bought shallots, toast the shallots in a large skillet over medium heat until deep caramel brown and aromatic, about 3 minutes. (Alternatively, you can toast the shallots on a sheet tray in an oven or toaster oven at 375 degrees until deep caramel brown, about 6 minutes.) Season generously with salt and transfer to a bowl.
  • In a large bowl, toss the lettuce with a few tablespoons of the dressing, half of the fried shallots and the Parmesan until lightly coated. Taste some of it, then add more dressing and season to taste with salt and pepper as desired. Transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkle with remaining fried shallots, grate some more Parmesan on top, garnish with anchovies (if using) and serve. Leftover dressing can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
