Well happy Sunday there today we’re heading down to Tiana Mexico July 4th 1924 where we’re going to be making the original Caesar salad allegedly so just remember like subscribe hit the little bell and join us on our journey cooking through History all right like we said we here uh traveling back to 1924 supposedly where the first Caesar salad was made uh in Team Water Mexico by Caesar s oh his last name it’s Italian both names it’ll be right there exactly so well there’s kind of the story about this and it’s really

Interesting there’s it’s kind of like the first hamburger there’s other people that claim it and then there’s a bunch of people inside his own family who claim it um supposedly it was on July 4th some Airmen in uh were down in Tijana because you know the us at that

Time did not uh allow drinking prohibition and so they would go down to Tiana and party and drink and so this guy had a restaurant down in Tijuana Plus in San Diego and so that that’s where it kind of these guys came and they were drinking having a good time and they

Want something to eat they didn’t have much I guess in the kitchen as the The Story Goes so they came up with this salad and one person originally said it was called an aviator salad cuz he served it to these Airmen but the brother Caesar says it was the Caesar

Salad and he made it tableside so there’s a lot of variations on it but whatever it’s a great salad and it’s done a little different than what we typic Ally no um at Caesar salad today mhm especially even the table side they dress the leaves make the dressing with

The leaves a lot of times now it’s you make your dressing in your big bowl then toss it so there’s all these variations um also somebody from New York in 1904 or 06 one of those claimed to said he made a Caesar salad and named it

After Julius Caesar but I reckon and I think the rest of the community out there and the historians actually said actually no you might have made a salad you might have called it Caesar for Julia Caesar but it’s not Caesar salad is what we know today so let’s uh we’re

First things first we’re going to make some croutons now this is a different way um it’s not your typical Crouton so we’re going to grab a baggot but this is how they described it grab to bag it put it down and we have an oven on

250 pretty low cuz we’re right now at this state we’re just trying to dry these out now they said to take your olive oil it’s about a qu half a cup three cloves of garlic get this on way and you’re going to want to smash it and that’s basically just to break it

Up release the oils drop it in uh your olive oil let that marinate and sit um they said for at least half an hour or an hour we’ve already had some in here doing that so it’s all good so we just going to take a little brush and brush it over it’s quite

Simple like it it’s cool to think that these guys were you had some Airmen they were partying and they were like Hey we’re hungry what do you got well we’ll make something we’ll make some crustinis this and whip together a salad so we’re going to take this throw it in

The oven I’ve already done some except who wants to sit around for that long and so now they came out they’re dry you can tell they’re still a little soft but that’s all right cuz the next step take our little oil brush is that they said to basically

Emulsify or take a blender and blend the garlic and oil together and that’s why we have this little emolion blender if you had a small food processor you could do that in there and basically they said just to make a puree and this is the easiest way to make a puree and that’s

That but they probably have used Porter and mest yeah probably or that’s actually probably exactly how they would do it in 1924 so with this little mixture they took a sauté pan and now they put that in there and they saw saut but this week we’ve been playing around with the

Griddle so I’m going to use the griddle instead of a sauté pan this is the only really non-traditional and you’re just going to take your Crouton throw them down on your griddle or your sauté pan and you’re just going to kind of cook them until they’re brown just going to take a few

Minutes and that’s your uh your really your first step and then once these guys are done cuz you really want to get that garlic Flavor now this is the controversy this recipe also has a lot of controversies in it you’re going to take those and take a little anchovy paste you get some

Anchovies mush them all up is what one version said they did but I like to cheat and just got some anchovy paste as I’m anoing these the easiest way I found is put a little on your finger scrape it otherwise some people say they didn’t there’s one family member member that

Says no anchovy was used but other family members and employees said there was and I think some of the reasons they say there wasn’t anchovies cuz the process of these croutons is once we cook them with that garlic and stuff and anchovy we’re going to make our dressing

Which is a lot simpler than traditional and then we throw in our croutons and toss that so the flavor from the Crouton is transferred all over to the leaves and salad all right we got our croutons done we’ll set those aside for now get rid of this oil cuz we don’t need

Anymore but don’t throw it away save it cuz that’s really good stuff and I’m going to grab a big bowl now traditionally it would have been a wooden Bowl but I don’t have a giant wooden Bowl on hand so it’s going to be this now as you see a lot of

People chop up their Romain but reading about it and from one of the people there they liked to leave it whole cuz originally this is not eaten with a fork they just so that’s how it is that sounds like it’s going to be fun but I think that that’s a way because they

Were you know uh Airmen having a good time in Tijana wanted a snack here’s an easy snack why they don’t need forks and it savs on dishes too exactly so our first thing is about a few tablespoons of a good olive oil and there is a technique to this

From reading about it you’re not just going to like toss they say to roll your ingredients and then toss at the end and we’re going to throw in some salt and my friend pepper this may be a minute I’m just kidding or am I all right those are the the first

Three things and now you want to roll and really one of the ancestors they were saying um get back in there just use your hands normally I would if I had some gloves but honestly I really don’t want my hands all oily yeah the god tongs

Don’t I mean sounds so appealing with no gloves now we’re going to take a juice of one lime is about a tablespoon or two and that’s the difference today a lot of people use lemons but they said the translation was wrong cuz in Spanish lime is lemon so

People heard it and just translate it wrong and they said they probably used limes so that’s what we’re going to do yeah in Mexico when they mean limes or lemons they’ll usually say lemon yep so Verde lemon yeah or amario and about a tablespoon or so of werer and that’s some good werer

Actually they said like 8 to 12 drops so it’s probably more about like a teaspoon not a tablespoon unless you really like wiar which I honestly it’s a good flavor and again it’s rolling cuz you want to have your little finger food yes you don’t want to destroy your

Lettuce that’s right and now to that smells really good and fresh we’re going to add one cuddled egg and a coddled egg is and basically this there’s several technical coddled egg is different things but it’s a one minute egg you take boiling water drop your egg

In 1 minute pull it out ice bath it and so it gets this kind of partially cooked on the Outside Inside just makes it a little more creamy and if you’re afraid of raw egg get pasteurized or if you’re still afraid of raw egg not a problem just

Substitute it with say like a tablespoon of mayo oh yeah that would be a good sub and it’ll give you that creaminess that not as good as this and now this you’re going to take and you’re going to slowly roll all this around get all those leaves nice and

Coated I think that’s why your hands would make this a lot easier yeah but you I mean you can kind of it’s crazy you think there’s nasty raw egg but looking down in here it is starting to look like a good creamy dressing as it roll this all

Around and that’s why a lot of people you would do it taable side it’s always fun unfortunately a lot of restaurants don’t do that anymore which is sad cuz I always loved getting that’s the reason I Started Loving Cesar salad you could order it and they’d come to the

Table and lastly to this we going to put parmesan cheese and they don’t skimp no that’s surprisingly that’s a lot of primes yeah I mean to this amount and I was going off all their stuff it’s like half a cup wow and actually if you make this a

Bigger scale they’ll use all the way up to a cup of cheese I think that’s the the thing it’s supposed to be well coated so we’re going to put the rest of our cheese in there wow that’s a lot of Parmesan and then lastly about eight of these

Croutons this recipe really seems pretty fun it it is fun to make it is it’s kind of cool of a way it’s building lering your flavors cooking is a lot of technique and now this is where you can just toss it around cuz you want those garlic

Croutons to try to hit all the lettuce and everything so you get that flavor yeah and some of the anchovy too and yes I’m excited about this me too and now in Reading they said lay it out with the stem out so it’s easier for people to

Grab now this would be a great appetizer now I mean wherever you are or put some chicken on it if you really want to you can cut up the cut up all the leaves so it’s easier but hey we’re going with history and this is how they said they did

It all right and that’s your Caesar salad now I will say they don’t do this but I would make a little tomato flour put it in there there you are that look super good in you ready to taste it yeah I’m ready let’s all right get your

Little PS over tasty I’m on my way W this looks good this looks good all right I am I’m excited take your little leaf I like Caesar salad in general so M you go cheers cheers that is good that’s a really good Caesar salad yeah it’s the original

Caesar salad yeah I would say it’s better I’m telling you it really the lime mhm really brightens it it’s not like it’s sour no and you think that’s a ton of cheese yeah but no that’s like it’s perfect it all works together and that egginess it is kind of

Like a creamy dressing mhm M little Crouton with some of that cheese on there that going be good little Crouton are great mhm sorry we’re standing here just eating we forgot about y’all well so I really recommend try it it’s a fun recipe we’ll put the recipe in the

Bottom yep and and we’ll put a couple links about the story you should check it out it’s really fun hopefully hopefully you can hear more than me just crunching yes hopefully so cuz it felt like holy G that was a lot of crunching he it’s a good Crouton
