RECIPE
Makes large salads for 2 very hungry people + extra dressing + breadcrumbs

βͺ4 heads of little gem lettuce (2 heads per person)
βͺ20g or 1 1/2Tbsp olive oil (for cooking tenders)
βͺ50g or 1/4c olive oil
βͺ150g or 1 1/2c panko breadcrumbs (makes more than you need for salad)
βͺ20g or 4tsp chopped capers
βͺGrated parmesan
Chop, wash, and dry/spin lettuce well. Preheat medium sautΓ© pan over medium heat. Add squeeze of olive oil, and place tenders in pan. It’s ok if they’re cozy in the pan. We’re searing and steaming. Cover and allow to cook for about 5min. Flip tenders, cover again, and reduce heat to low to cook for another 2-3min. Tenders are done when internal temp reaches 145F/62C. Remove from pan and allow to res briefly.
Wipe oil out of pan, increase heat to med-high, and add 50g or 1/4c oil. Once shimmering, add breadcrumbs. Toss to combine. Add pinch of salt. Continue stirring and tossing while cooking to a nice golden brown for about 60 seconds. Remove from pan and allow to dry and cool on a towel.
CAESAR DRESSING:
βͺ1 large egg
βͺ45g or 1/2c grated parm
βͺ30g or 1 can of oil packed anchovies, rinsed well (SUBSTITUTE 25g Worcestershire if you don’t like chovies + add 15g more parm)
βͺ1 clove garlic
βͺ50g or 3 1/2Tbsp lemon juice
βͺ10g or 2tsp water
βͺ275g or 1 1/4c neutral oil (canola, light olive oil, avocado, etc)
Add all ingredients except oil to tall sided container and blend with immersion blender until solids are broken down then slowly stream in oil while blending.
