Recipe - Caesar Salad With Portabella Mushrooms

3 Whole Portabella mushrooms
One half cup Extra virgin olive oil
(divided use)
2 tablespoon Egg substitute
1 One half teaspoon Coarsegrain mustard
1 One half teaspoon Anchovy paste
2 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
1 Clove garlic; chopped very
fine
1 Clove garlic; cut in half
(divided use)
One fourth cup Vegetable oil
1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
One fourth cup Finely grated Parmesan
cheese
Salt and freshly ground
black pepper
3 Heads Romaine lettuce
1 One half cup Plain croutons

Brush mushrooms with some of the olive oil and broil, gills up, 6 inches
from the heat for 10 minutes. Cool, slice and reserve.

While broiling, make the dressing: Whisk together egg substitute, mustard,
anchovy paste, vinegar, lemon juice and chopped garlic. Start adding
vegetable oil and remaining olive oil a drop at a time until an emulsion
forms (the oil no longer floats on top and is incorporated into the
liquids). Then pour in oils in a steady stream until all is incorporated.
Stir in thyme and cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Remove leathery outer leaves of romaine and discard or reserve for another
use. Rinse the more tender leaves, core and pat with paper towels to dry.
Cut into bitesize pieces. Rub inside of bowl with cut garlic clove and add
lettuce. Toss. Add the mushrooms and about 1 cup of the dressing. Toss
again with the croutons. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Makes 6
servings.
