1 small baguette
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, halved
4 back bacon rashers, trimmed
of fat
2 Cos lettuces
10 anchovy fillets in oil, drained

100g/4oz Parmesan cheese,

For the dressing

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

• Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas mark 4.
• To make the croûtons, cut the baguette into 15 thin slices, and brush
both sides of each slice with the oil. Spread the slices out on a baking
tray, and bake for 10–5 minutes until golden brown. Leave to cool
slightly, then rub each side of each slice of bread with the cut edge of a
garlic clove. Cut each slice into small cubes.
• Cook the bacon under a hot grill until crisp. Drain on kitchen paper until
cooled, then break into chunky pieces.
• Tear the lettuce leaves into pieces, and put in a large serving bowl with
the bacon, anchovies, croûtons and Parmesan.
• For the dressing, put the egg yolks, garlic, mustard, anchovies, vinegar
and Worcestershire sauce in a blender or food processor. Season with
salt and pepper, and process for 20 seconds or until smooth. With the
motor running, gradually add the oil in a thin stream until the dressing is
thick and creamy.
• Drizzle the dressing over the salad, and toss very gently until well
distributed. Serve immediately.
