Blistered Brassicas With Tamari Caesar

Cleophus Hethington, Zak the Baker’s chef de cuisine, uses tamari for salty complexity in his ode to Caesar dressing. While he uses dairy-free cheese to finish the dish, any sharp aged cheese (like Pecorino) would work. Cornbread croutons create a crisp finish with nutty sweetness; if you can’t find store-bought, Hethington says to bake some up using a box of Jiffy.
