Instructions
Gina Ferazzi / Los Angeles Times (Gina Ferazzi / Los Angeles Times)Kale Caesar
Servings: 4 to 6Note: Adapted from "Tartine Bread" by Chad Robertson.Caesar dressing2 lemons3 cloves garlic6 olive oil-packed anchovy fillets1 egg yolk
To make the dressing, grate the zest from 1 lemon.
Place the garlic, anchovies and lemon zest in a mortar and pound with a pestle to make a thick paste.
Add the egg yolk, a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon juice and stir thoroughly to combine. Continuing to stir, pour in 1/2 cup of the oil, drop by drop. The mixture should look smooth and creamy, a sign that you are building a stable emulsion. Continuing to stir, begin adding the oil in a slow stream. The dressing should thicken. Periodically stop pouring in the oil and add a squeeze of lemon. Taste the dressing and add more salt and lemon juice to taste.
Add water, a small spoonful at a time, stirring to thin dressing to the consistency of heavy cream. This makes about 2 cups dressing. You may not use all the dressing for the salad; the remainder will keep, covered and refrigerated, for up to 2 days.Croutons3 slices day-old bread, each 1 inch thick, torn into 1 1/2-inch chunks2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt1/2 teaspoon herbes de Provence (optional)To make the croutons, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a bowl, toss the torn bread with the olive oil and a pinch of salt. If you are using the herbs, add them too.
Spread the bread evenly on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown and crisp, about 15 minutes. Midway through the baking time, redistribute the croutons if they are coloring unevenly.Salad assembly2 pounds black kale, center stems removed, and torn into bite-sized pieces
