It's a lot easier than it looks, hawk. Just lots of a little bit of this and that.dang moose.i had no idea.maybe ill just stick to the jar stuff for now lol im surprised there was anchovies in there.can i ask how you learned to make it?
also looking good Herman!is that raw beef?looks like it could be salmon too
Anchovies are a classic add to Caesar dressing. Gotta have them. And in a 'cleaner' food and farm critter world, the whipped egg yolks are a traditionally included item as well. Very few folks still add the whipped egg yolks. A minor version of food Russian Roulette... of sorts.
Not sure how long it lasts in the refrigerator, so if it's just you and you're not eating a lot of salads, you might want to make a half of a batch.
Anchovie paste often comes in a small tube, the size of an elongated travel tube of toothpaste. Relatively inexpensive; I think I get abot 3 batches the size of the one I posted from 1 small tube, and the tube of anchovie paste here is about $3+
I was being half-serious about the anchovie paste doubling as a bait enhancement. After dripping some on my t-shirt, I walked around the house half the day smelling like I was working at a grinder station at a fish processor plant.
Re. where I got my refined Caesar dressing recipe from, I had read a few recipes over time and started whipping my own dressing up with a few modificaitons over time; things we liked more of in there, and some we reduced a bit..
The other more common recipe here, which I haven't made in a little while (maybe this last October or November), is a clone of a locally produced commercial dressing a former friend makes and sells. This one's by eye only, or by 'feel' when I do it. It's olive oil, balsamic vinegar, just enough R/O water to aid in blending and tempering, a little bit of organic maple syrup (just enough to balance the pepper and the vinegar), lots of coarsely ground black pepper, a good bit of finely minced garlic, or granulated sharp garlic (like a good granulated California garlic in the event that you don't have finely minced garlic in sufficient amount). If you have them and want to, add some wild low-bush cranberries or wild blueberries. Then sea salt in minor amount, and shake briskly when first combined, several times a day for the first couple days, and then each time before dabbling on your salad. Good stuff, as well.
