Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Prepare the salad dressing: Beat the egg yolk, mustard, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, lemon juice, and caper brine with a mixer until smooth. While whisking, slowly pour in the olive oil, then the vegetable oil. Stir in the anchovies and anchovy oil. Cover the sauce with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Prepare the salad: Cook the bacon in a skillet over low heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 12-15 minutes. Transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain excess fat.
- Heat 1 inch (2.5 cm) of vegetable oil in a saucepan or deep fryer. Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Place the capers in a small metal strainer, then lower them into the hot oil and fry until crisp, 1-2 minutes. Transfer them to the paper towels. Lower the Brussels sprouts, one at a time, into the hot oil and fry until crisp, 1-2 minutes. Transfer the sprouts to the paper towels and season with salt.
- Pour three-quarters of the dressing into a large salad bowl. Add romaine lettuce, basil, and finely grated Parmesan cheese, and toss to combine. Sprinkle the Caesar salad with coarsely grated Parmesan cheese, bacon, capers, and Brussels sprouts. Drizzle with the remaining dressing.
