I received a tag from Liz of Mommy's Little Corner. :)
We had Ceasar Salad and Baked Ham last night (Holy Saturday) for dinner. Ceasar Salad is our favorite, we actually have this served in our wedding reception at Wente Vineyards restaurant. They served the hearts of Romaine whole with Parmesan shavings and croutons.
I like to make the Ceasar dressing from scratch. To limit the risk of Salmonella (the original recipe calls for raw egg yolk), I use the yolk from a soft-boiled egg.
Ceasar Salad Dressing
1 egg yolk
2 gloves garlic, crushed
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 pcs. anchovy fillets, chopped
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Romaine lettuce
Croutons
Parmesan cheese shavings
In a blender or food processor, place egg yolk, garlic, Dijon mustard, anchovies, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, salt & pepper. Blend for 20 seconds until smooth. With the motor running, add the extra-virgin olive oil slowly to make the dressing thick & creamy.
Drizzle over the Romaine lettuce and croutons. Top with Parmesan shavings.
Pineapple Glazed Ham
4 cups pineapple juice
1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
4 cloves of garlic, peeled and smashed
12 to 16 whole cloves
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 cup light-brown sugar
About 10 pineapple rings
2. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
3. Carefully trim the thick rind and all but 1/4 inch of fat from the surface of the ham. With a sharp knife, score a diamond pattern and insert the cloves at the crossed points of the diamonds.
4. Set the ham in a shallow baking pan. Brush the mustard all over the top. Pat the sugar atop the mustard.
5. Starting at the butt end, decoratively arrange the pineapple rings, securing with toothpicks in the centers, working toward the bone. Pour the reserved pineapple juice into the bottom of the pan and place in the oven.
6. Bake for 1 1/2 hours, basting every 15 minutes.
7.When the ham is done, place it on a serving platter and let rest for 15 minutes. Carve into thin slices, beginning at the butt end. Serve warm with pan sauce alongside. Remove the pineapple slices as you carve and serve them with the ham.
*Notes: I added more Pineapple juice in the middle of the baking process.
