To steam pudding in oven:

  1. Put two long strips of tin foil crosswise on work top or table. Place roasting tin on foil. Sit pudding bowl into the tin and fill with boiling water to within 1″ of top of tin. Then bring tin foil around to form a parcel, which should be airtight to prevent any steam escaping.

The quantities may be doubled if more than one pudding is required.

Parmigiano Reggiano – Classic Caesar Salad @SpinellisSauce

Ingredients

  • 3 romaine hearts
  • 3 cups bread cut into 1 inch chunks – preferably baguette or country style bread or store-bought croutons
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Olive oil
  • 1 jar of Spinelli’s Caesar Dressing
  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Preparation:

If you have the time, make your own croutons. Its fast and easy. If not, a store bought option is possible. If making them at home, toss the torn bread on a cooking sheet with three tablespoons of olive oil. Season generously with salt and dash of pepper. Bake them at 375 degrees for 10-15 minutes until toasted.

Chop the romaine hearts and place in a mixing bowl. Add the croutons, a half jar of Spinelli’s Caesar dressing and half the shredded parmesan. Toss well. Garnish the top with the remaining parmesan cheese.
