Ingredients

  • 40 g parmesan, finely grated (£2.35/2)=(£1.17)
  • 1 clove of garlic, minced (£0.39)
  • 3 anchovies, chopped into paste (£0.75)
  • 1 tbsp (heaped) Dijon mustard (£0.60)

Cupboard Essentials

  • 8 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp red pepper/ chilli flakes
Metric - US Standard

Instructions

  • Add the anchovies and minced garlic onto a chopping board. Add salt to the garlic and use the side of your knife to squish into a paste. Finely chop the anchovies.
  • To a food processor, add the parmesan, garlic paste, chopped anchovies, white wine vinegar, brown sugar, red pepper flakes and Dijon mustard. Blend until well combined, intermittently using a rubber spatula to incorporate the bits going up the side of the food processor.
  • Next, continue to blend on low whilst slowly streaming the oil into your food processor. When you have added half, turn the blade off and use your spatula again to get any bits on the side.
  • Add the lid back on and continue to blend, adding the remaining oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

  • Grate parmesan easily by slicing it into chunks and blitzing it in a food processor.
  • Use the food processor to mix the dressing ingredients for a smooth texture.
  • Slowly pour oil into the food processor while blending to ensure proper emulsification.
  • If the dressing separates in the refrigerator, simply shake it to re-mix.
  • Adjust the seasoning at the end, as the dressing has many salty ingredients— taste before adding more salt.
