Description

A creamy anchovy dressing perfect for salads and drizzling.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 6 anchovy fillets, mashed into a paste
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup neutral oil (such as grapeseed or canola)
  • 1/2 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized stainless steel or glass bowl, combine the egg yolks, minced garlic, anchovy paste, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce.
  2. Whisk the ingredients vigorously until the mixture is well-combined and begins to look slightly frothy.
  3. Place the bowl on a damp kitchen towel to stabilize it. While whisking constantly, begin adding the oils drop by drop.
  4. Once the emulsion begins to thicken, continue adding the oil in a very slow, steady, thin stream until all the oil is incorporated and the dressing is thick and creamy.
  5. Fold in the finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese using a whisk or spatula.
  6. Taste and season with kosher salt and black pepper as needed.
  7. If the dressing is too thick, whisk in a teaspoon of warm water to reach the desired consistency.
  8. Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

Notes
