Il Condimento di Cesare

Makes ¾ cup

Place whole garlic cloves and anchovy fillets in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Process until finely chopped. Scrape down sides of bowl with a spatula.

Add lemon juice, mustard, Parmesan cheese, Tabasco and balsamic vinegar. Process until well combined.

Turn the machine on and slowly drizzle in the oil. Continue to pulse until well combined.

Chef's tip: This is a thick spread. Refrigerate any leftover. It will thicken further in the refrigerator.
