Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 lemons, halved, plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for grilling
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 hearts romaine lettuce, cut in half lengthwise
Three 3/4-inch slices rustic bread, such as levain or baguette
1 tablespoon sugar

Steps:

GRILLED CAESAR SALAD



Grilled Caesar Salad image

This recipe, from Alan Ashkinaze of the now-closed Millesime in Manhattan, came to The Times in 2012. In his version of the classic Caesar salad, a light grilling enhances the flavor of the romaine lettuce, which is then brushed with a dressing brightened by lime juice. The whole thing is finished with Parmesan, toasted on the grill. It comes together quickly, and it's a perfect pairing for a rib-eye, served along with a deep red.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 clove garlic, peeledand minced
4 anchovy fillets, rinsed and minced
3 egg yolks
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon lime zest
1 lime, juiced, approximately 2 tablespoons
1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 heads romaine lettuce, tops and bottoms trimmed neatly, the heads cut lengthwise into quarters
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Make the Caesar dressing. Put the minced garlic into a medium bowl, and add the minced anchovies. Using a whisk, mix and mash these ingredients together until they form a paste. Add the egg yolks and the mustard, and begin to whisk them with the paste. Add a small stream of olive oil while continuing to whisk. Add more olive oil, whisking all the while, until the dressing begins to emulsify. Add the Worcestershire sauce, and continue to whisk until the dressing achieves a mayonnaiselike consistency. Add the red-wine vinegar, whisk to combine, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Make the vinaigrette. Combine the lime zest, lime juice, balsamic vinegar and oil in another small bowl, and whisk to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Make the salad. Drizzle the olive oil over the quartered heads of lettuce. Lightly grill these over a low fire for 15 to 20 seconds on each side, until they have a light goldenness, and remove to a platter. Using a pastry brush or a small spoon, paint the Caesar dressing over the lettuce, making sure to get dressing between the leaves. Return lettuces to edges of grill, sprinkle with Parmesan and cover for 30 seconds to allow the cheese to soften and toast. Remove lettuce to a platter, and drizzle with lime vinaigrette. Serve two pieces each, alongside a steak.

6 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

2 medium zucchini, grilled and chopped
1 cup of eggplant, grilled and chopped

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.

Tips:

  • For a smokier flavor, grill the vegetables over direct heat. For more tender vegetables, grill them over indirect heat.
  • Be sure to preheat your grill to the desired temperature before cooking the vegetables. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the grates.
  • To prevent the vegetables from drying out, brush them with olive oil or cooking spray before grilling.
  • If you're using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using. This will help to prevent them from burning.
  • To make the Caesar dressing, be sure to use fresh lemon juice and Dijon mustard. These ingredients will give the dressing a bright and tangy flavor.
  • For a creamier dressing, add a tablespoon of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
  • Serve the salad immediately after it's made. The vegetables are best when they're still warm and crisp.

Conclusion:

Grilled Caesar vegetable salad is a delicious and healthy side dish or main course. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a salad that's both flavorful and visually appealing.
