Ingredients
- 6 anchovies packed in oil removed from oil
- 1 large clove garlic minced
- Large pinch of kosher salt
- 2 large egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh grated parmesan cheese
- fresh grated black pepper
Instructions
- In a mortar and pestle, add anchovies, garlic, and salt. Ground to a paste. See recipe notes for other ways to grind into a paste.
- Add paste to a food processor and add egg yolks, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and mustard. Turn on processor and add oil very very slowly, just one drip at a time, then slowly add teh rest of the oil in a very slow and steady stream, emulsifying dressing like a mayo until it is creamy in texture.
- Season with black pepper to taste (if desired).
- Store in a air tight container in fridge until ready to use, up to 3 days. Makes about 1 1/2 cups.
Notes
- This recipe makes approximately 1 1/2 cups of dressing.
- Nutritional value is based on 1 serving of about 2 tablespoons.
- Make without Mortar and Pestle: by putting it all out on a cutting board and chopping it all with a knife until it's finely ground into a paste, or use a mini food processor, or use a rolling pin by putting plastic wrap over the ingredients on a cutting board and use the rolling pin.
