Grill

I don't grill. Ever. So this is a great way to crank some heat and fake it like you're a grilling goddess. The balsamic is key. It glazes and colors the romaine. But wear an apron because the balsamic spatters quite a bit. <br /> <br />There is no olive oil in this recipe so the egg yolk plays a lot of roles: it helps emulsify the dressing, it adds fat and flavor. I coddle the egg (cooked gently in boiling water for 2 minutes) to thicken it and warm it up. The yolk and most of the white won't be cooked. So make sure your egg is fresh and from a farm you trust. If you're in a rush, you can just use a raw egg. <br /> <br />Serve this as a side salad, or turn it into a meal by adding avocado dressed with lime, pickled chiles, roasted carrots, or flank steak. Or all of the above!
