Sooo, finally updating this cooking blog of mine (no idea if anybody actually follows this thing but for those who do, here's a new post after what? A year now? at the least? *sigh*
Anyway, bought some new bowls and plates as of this week, aaaaand a sexy new knife that I thoroughly enjoyed using last night as well as will continue to enjoy using :)
Nothing fancy though, just a simple roast chicken with homemade Caesar everything.
For the croutons I just cut up some italian bread into about 1x1 pieces and tossed them with olive oil and freshly minced thyme, rosemary, and savory which was then baked in my oven at 400 degrees fahrenheit for about 10 minutes. (basically till they started to become golden brown so that the outside is slightly crunchy while keeping the bread beneath that layer somewhat soft)
As for the caesar dressing, I threw in 2 cloves of minced garlic, along with I guess 1/2 to 1 tsp of anchovy paste, about 2 tbsp of freshly squeezed lime juice, and an egg yolk. Once that was all whisked together I then proceeded to incorporate 1/2 a cup of olive oil till it thickened which takes no time at all. After that was taken care of I then added about 1/2 tsp of grainy mustard, and 1 - 2 tsp of dijon mustard (the mustard gives the dressing a hell of a nice kick) followed by about 1 1/2 to 2 tbsp of minced capers as well as pepper aaaand a touch of salt.
