Categories     Mustard     No-Cook     Quick & Easy     Salad Dressing     Vinegar     Walnut     Shallot

Yield Makes approximately 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 shallot, peeled and minced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup aged sherry vinegar
3 tablespoons walnut or hazelnut oil*
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Toss the minced shallots with the salt in a bowl and let the shallots "weep" for a few minutes. This helps them flavor the vinaigrette more quickly. Whisk in the mustard and sherry vinegar. Slowly drizzle in the walnut oil and the olive oil. It's not important to keep this vinaigrette emulsified. If the oil and vinegar separate, just stir vigorously to recombine them before using. Season with the pepper and more salt if needed. This vinaigrette will keep several weeks in the fridge.
  • *Once oil has been opened, store it in the fridge to slow down the oxidation that leads to rancidity - especially a problem for nut oils.

Time 30m

Yield 1/2 cup

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup sherry wine vinegar
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 -3 sprigs fresh thyme
2 -3 fresh sage leaves
1 bay leaf
1/2 sprig fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, sugar, and salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally as the mixture heats. Let the mixture boil for 10-12 minutes or until reduced by half.

  • Strain the gastrique into a glass bowl and let it cool to room temperature. At this point, the gastrique should be the consistency of light syrup, and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon . Use right away or cover and store at room temperature for up to 10 days. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Select high-quality ingredients: Use a good quality sherry vinegar that is at least 3 years old. Choose extra-virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
  • Balance the flavors: The ratio of vinegar to oil in the vinaigrette should be about 1:3. You can adjust the ratio to suit your taste preferences.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices can add a lot of flavor to the vinaigrette. Some good options include parsley, chives, basil, thyme, oregano, and rosemary.
  • Let the vinaigrette rest: Allowing the vinaigrette to rest for at least 30 minutes before using allows the flavors to meld together. This will result in a more flavorful vinaigrette.
  • Use the vinaigrette on a variety of dishes: Aged sherry vinaigrette is a versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is especially good on salads, grilled vegetables, and roasted meats.
