- 3 to 4 medium garlic cloves - crushed
- 1/4 (scant) cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 to 3 drops Tabasco sauce
- 1 tablespoon anchovy paste
- 1/4 cup fresh grated imported parmesan cheese
- 1 cup virgin olive oil
- garlic croutons
Directions
In a food processor or in a large bowl, whisk together garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, anchovy paste and cheese until well blended and salt is dissolved.
With motor of food processor running, or whisking constantly, add the oil in a thin stream until it is incorporated.
