Almost Caesar (With Many, Tasty Calories)
- 1 head of Romaine lettuce, washed and torn into bite-size pieces
- 1 cup cubed, tasty, firm bread
- 1/4 cup bacon fat
- 1 large clove garlic, crushed
- 1/4 cup excellent extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 lemon, halved and seeded
- Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme (fresh or dried, it's up to you!)
- Heat the bacon fat in a small frying pan, add the crushed garlic clove and toss the bread cubes in the hot fat until bread is brown and crunchy. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and thyme.
- Put the lettuce in a bowl (we like to use a large, shallow wooden bowl), and drizzle with some olive oil. Toss the lettuce well, in a bold, jolly fashion, adding squirts of lemon juice and a dash or two of Worcestershire and coat the leaves well. Add the Parmesan cheese and toss briskly. Put on plates, or in shallow bowls, add the crouton if there are any left. ( Generally our kitchen help tests the crouton and we have very few to add to the salads. Thus the serving for two.)rnEnjoy!rnAny wine will do.
