Recipe
Ingredients
- 6–8 rashers of bacon
- 4 eggs
- 1 bunch (about 300g) kale, finely sliced
- Juice 1 lemon
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 4 tbsp pine nuts, toasted
- 4 anchovy fillets, rinsed & halved (optional)
- 4 macadamia nuts, grated
-
- Caesar dressing
- 2 egg yolks
- 4 anchovy fillets, rinsed & finely chopped
- ½ garlic clove, crushed
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 250mL olive oil
- Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
Method
- Pan-fry the bacon until crisp and golden. Remove from pan, drain on paper towel and leave to cool. Chop into small pieces and set aside.
- Place eggs in a large saucepan of water. Bring to the boil over medium heat and simmer for 5 mins, or until cooked to your liking. Remove from the heat, drain and cool in iced water. Peel, quarter and set aside.
- To make Caesar dressing, combine egg yolks, anchovies, garlic, lemon juice and mustard in a food processor or blender. Process briefly until combined. With the motor running, gradually add the oil, drop by drop, until the dressing has emulsified and thickened slightly. Now pour in oil in a steady stream and continue to process until the dressing is the consistency of pouring cream. Check seasoning, adding salt and pepper or more lemon juice as desired.
- Place kale in a bowl and add lemon juice and olive oil. Mix gently, rubbing lemon juice and oil into kale, and allow to stand for 5 mins.
- Place half Caesar dressing on kale and mix gently. Tip dressed kale into a large serving bowl and scatter on parsley, pine nuts and anchovies (if using). Top with bacon, soft-boiled egg and grated macadamia nuts.
