Grilled Endive Caesar Salad with White Beans

INGREDIENTS:
2 large heads endive
2 teaspoons anchovy paste
2 large cloves garlic, 1 grated or finely chopped, 1 halved
About 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Juice of 1 large, ripe lemon
About 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
A generous handful of grated pecorino-Romano cheese
Lots of pepper
Olive oil cooking spray
A few grates of nutmeg
Ciabatta bread, sliced
5 large eggs, hard-boiled, then chopped (see tip)
One 15-ounce can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
You can pick up hard-boiled eggs at deli counters and salad bars; chop and reserve them. Or place raw eggs in a small pot, cover with water and bring to a boil. When the eggs come to a full boil, cover the pan and turn off the heat; let stand for 10 minutes. Run the eggs under cold water as you crack them. Let stand for a minute to loosen the shells, then peel and chop the eggs.
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan to medium-high. Fill the sink with water. Trim the escarole but leave the heads intact, then swish the escarole heads vigorously. Halve the heads and dry them with kitchen towels. In a shallow bowl, combine the anchovy paste, grated or chopped garlic, Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice. Whisk in about ½ cup EVOO, the cheese and pepper. Coat the escarole lightly with the cooking spray and grill, turning once, until wilted and grill marks appear, about 5 minutes. Season the escarole halves with a little nutmeg and drizzle the anchovy dressing on top, or chop to mix thoroughly with the dressing. Char the bread slices on the grill, on the grill pan or under a hot broiler. Rub with the halved garlic and drizzle with EVOO. Chop the bread. Arrange the eggs and the cannellini beans over the halved escarole or toss with the chopped escarole. Serve with the bread.
