Ingredients

• 2 cloves garlic
• 4 pieces anchovy fillets
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 cup olive oil
• 0.25 cup vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel and mince the garlic cloves, then mash them into a paste using a knife or mortar and pestle.

Step 2

Finely chop the anchovy fillets and mash them into a paste using the back of a spoon or the same knife technique used for the garlic.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the olive oil while whisking continuously to emulsify the ingredients. Start with a few drops at a time and increase to a steady stream once the mixture begins to thicken.

Step 5

Incorporate the vegetable oil into the dressing in the same manner as the olive oil, ensuring the mixture stays thick and creamy.

Step 6

Whisk in the mashed garlic, anchovy paste, and grated Parmesan cheese until smooth.

Step 7

Season the dressing with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Transfer the finished dressing to a serving container or refrigerate in an airtight jar for up to three days.
