Ingredients:
- 3 cups (150g) sourdough bread, cubed into ½ inch pieces
- 3 tbsp (42g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves (6g) garlic, minced
- ¼ tsp (1.5g) salt
- ½ cup (120ml) mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp (30ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp (5ml) Worcestershire sauce
- 2 fillets (10g) anchovies
- 1 clove (3g) garlic, minced
- ¼ cup (25g) Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 2 large (600g) heads of Romaine lettuce, chopped into 2-inch ribbons
- ½ cup (50g) Parmesan cheese, shaved into curls
- 1 tbsp (15ml) extra virgin olive oil
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a medium bowl, toss the sourdough cubes with melted butter, 6g minced garlic, and salt until evenly coated.
- Spread the cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 8–10 minutes, tossing halfway through, until they reach a mahogany-colored hue; remove from oven and set aside to cool completely.
- Using the side of a knife, mash the anchovy fillets into a smooth paste on a cutting board.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth.
- Stir the anchovy paste, 3g minced garlic, and finely grated Parmesan into the mixture and whisk until thick and velvety.
- Place the chopped Romaine in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and toss to coat the leaves.
- Pour the dressing over the greens and toss gently with tongs until every leaf is evenly coated.
- Fold in the cooled garlic croutons and top with shaved Parmesan curls.
