Method

Tap a step once you've finished it.

Preheat the oven to 190 °C (175 °C fan). Cube the bread, press one of the garlic cloves and mix with the olive oil. Toss the cubes with the oil, spread on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden (croutons).
For the dressing, mash the anchovies and garlic to a paste with a knife. Mix in the yolk, mustard, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce. Whisking constantly, drizzle in the oil in a thin stream until creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
Wash the lettuce, dry it thoroughly, and tear it into large pieces.
In a large bowl, toss the lettuce with the dressing so every leaf is coated.
Divide among plates and top with the croutons and shaved Parmesan. If you like, serve with sliced grilled chicken breast. Eat immediately.

Tips

The anchovy adds depth, the fishy taste does not come through.
Use a pasteurized yolk, or a hard-boiled one.
Dry the lettuce well, so the dressing clings.
The dressing keeps for 3 days in the fridge.
