Title: Vincent Price's Caesar Salad for a Busy Cook
Categories: Salads
Yield: 4 Servings

2 Heads romaine lettuce;
-washed and dried
1 Clove garlic;, peeled
3/4 c Olive oil
1 ds Cayenne pepper
1 ds Tabasco® sauce
1 ts Sugar
1 10" strip anchovy paste
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 ts Salt
1 Whole egg
1 lg Lemon;, juiced
Freshly grated Parmesan
-cheese
Croutons

Place the peeled garlic clove in olive oil in a container with a
tight-fitting lid; set aside overnight. Remove and discard garlic from oil;
add cayenne, Tabasco, sugar, and anchovy paste. Shake well to mix; set
aside. Tear the lettuce leaves into smaller pieces and place in a large
salad bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour the seasoned oil over all
and toss gently so that all leaves are well coated. Boil the egg for 1
minute (bring water to a boil, lower egg into water with a large spoon and
begin timing). Crack the shell and drop egg into salad. Squeeze lemon juice
over egg and stir gently into salad. It will have a creamy appearance. Just
before serving, sprinkle cheese over all and add croutons. Toss lightly to
mix.

NOTES : This recipe contains a partially-cooked egg. If you are concerned
about salmonella, substitute an equivalent amount of Egg Beaters or other
egg substitute.
