Ingredients:

2 heads of Romaine lettuce (romaine hearts are best)

1 handful Day old French bread cubed (croutons)

2 packages of romaine hearts (enough to serve 4 people)

1 teaspoon anchovy paste or 2-3 anchovies fillets (ground into paste)

¼ cup fresh extra virgin olive oil

1 fresh raw egg (optional-but highly recommended)

1 large clove of garlic (peeled and minced)

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

Juice of 1 fresh lemon

1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce

3-5 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste (pinch of each)

Directions:

Remove outside leaves of lettuce until left with the heart-leaves, then wash them carefully, and set aside.  Sauté in a pan the bread cubes with the olive oil and garlic, when the croutons are infused with oils and garlic pull off heat and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.  In a pot, bring water to a boil.  When water is boiling throw in the egg for a period of one minute (keep the egg in its shell).  Then In a large wooden or plastic bowl, rub the sides with minced garlic and then mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, anchovy paste, and several good squirts of Worcestershire sauce.  After mixing these contents for a while (whisking with a fork),  add in the egg and whisk further until everything is thoroughly mixed.   Season the base dressing with fresh black pepper and salt to taste (a pinch of each will do).  Finally, add the romaine hearts to the large bowl with the base dressing and toss well (until all the leaves are thoroughly coated with the dressing).  To finish, sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese into the bowl and toss again until fully incorporated.  To serve, place the contents of the bowl on a plate or several portioned plates, and sprinkle more Parmesan cheese on top along with the croutons prepared earlier.  This preparation is best enjoyed when freshly made, to add flair prepare it in front of your guests table-side and serve onto their plates with tongs.

Chop to make it bitesize - serve with croutons on side.
