Devilishly delicious Caesar Salad with chicken
Serves: 4
Prep time: 10 mins
Cooking time: 20 mins
Ingredients
2 medium chicken breasts
1 romaine lettuce, cut, washed and dried
2 egg yolks
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic, crushed
6 anchovy fillets, crushed
1-2 drops of Tabasco
300ml olive oil
100g freshly grated parmesan
4 slices white bread, diced into cubes
4 medium eggs
Cut the chicken breasts into even sized chunky strips, then toss with a little olive oil and salt and pepper. Warm a frying pan over a moderate heat and, when hot, fry the chicken, allowing it to colour to a golden brown. When the chicken is cooked, remove from the pan and reserve, return the pan to the heat. Add 4 tbsp of olive oil and heat through, then add the bread cubes and fry, tossing well so that they brown evenly. Mix the egg yolks with the mustard, vinegar, and garlic and whisk well. Add the anchovies and whisk in the olive oil slowly until you have the texture of mayonnaise. Add a little water if it is too thick. Add the Parmesan to the dressing and check for seasoning.Add one or two drops of Tabasco for a little extra spice (optional). Bring a pan of water to a gentle simmer, then poach the eggs with a little vinegar until just set but still soft. To serve, toss the leaves in a bowl with some of the dressing and arrange on the plates. Toss the chicken and croutons in the bowl with a little more dressing, then arrange over the leaves. Top each salad with a poached egg, then finish by drizzling the dressing all around.
Eggplant Parmigiana
2 large eggplants, peeled and cut lengthways into 0.51 cm (0.2 inch) slices.
110 grams plain flour
3 eggs, lightly beaten with 3 tablespoons water
2 cups fine breadcrumbs
olive oil, for frying
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 cups tomato passata
80 grams grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
200 grams Mascarpone
4 anchovy fillets, very finely chopped
Fontina cheese, grated
4 sprigs fresh oregano, leaves picked
2 sprigs basil, leaves picked
salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, extra
The first part of this recipe is to crumb the eggplant slices. For this, dust the slices of eggplant in flour, then dip in the egg before placing in the breadcrumbs. This does take a bit of time.
Once all the slices are done, it's time to cook them.
Shallow fry them in a large non-stick pan over a medium heat - give them about 1-2 minutes on each side. Place them onto paper towels to remove any excess oil.
When they are all cooked, we can now assemble the dish.
Preheat the oven to 170°C/338°F.
Take your deep sided oven proof dish and add 2 tablespoons of the extra virgin olive oil. Swirl it around to cover the base and sides.
Add a quarter of the tomato passata to the dish, sprinkle over with 3 tablespoons of grated parmigiano.
Place the mascarpone, anchovy and remaining grated parmigiano into a bowl and stir well to combine.
Place a layer of eggplant slices over the base of the dish. Spoon over with another quarter of the passata, top with some grated Fontina and a few dollops of the mascarpone mixture. Sprinkle with a third of the basil and oregano leaves and a little ground black pepper.
Repeat this layering process, finishing with the cheese and herbs.
Please note that the number of layers will depend on the size of your eggplants and the size of your dish.
Drizzle with a little more of the extra virgin olive oil and add another sprinkling of the grated
parmigiano.
