Lemon goop and vinaigrette are vibrant condiments that add tangy freshness to a variety of dishes. Lemon goop, a thick and creamy sauce, is made by combining lemon juice, sugar, cornstarch, and butter. On the other hand, vinaigrette, a thin and tangy dressing, is prepared by whisking together lemon juice, oil, herbs, and spices. Both lemon goop and vinaigrette are versatile condiments that can enhance the flavor of salads, grilled meats, fish, and vegetables. With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes of preparation, you can easily create these delicious and versatile condiments at home.

LEMON GOOP AND VINAIGRETTE
The first time I made this lemon concoction, I called it "goop," and still haven't found a better name. My inspiration was an offbeat lemon jam I'd had in a Paris bistro. The jam, which I think was served with mackerel, was thick, velvety, salty, tangy, only a bit sweet and made with salt-cured preserved lemons. Haunted by the flavor and not patient enough to wait a month for lemons to cure, I cooked ordinary lemons, some with their peel, in a sugar-and-salt syrup, then blended them into a kind of marmalade, the goop. It's excellent swiped over cooked fish, seafood, chicken or vegetables. The syrup, fragrant and full flavored, is terrific in marinades and great mixed with a little goop, sherry and cider vinegars, honey and oil to make a vinaigrette for beans, grains and hearty salads. I guess that goop is technically a condiment, but I call it a transformer. It's that good.

Steps:
- Make the goop and syrup: Remove the zest from 3 lemons, taking care not to include any white cottony pith. Coarsely chop the zest, and set aside.
- You use the segments from all 6 lemons, so cut away any rind and pith on each of the lemons, so that the fruit is exposed. Slice between the membranes to release each segment.
- Add the sugar, sea salt and 2 cups water to a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil. Drop in the segments and the chopped zest, bring back to a boil, then lower the heat so that the syrup simmers gently. Cook for about 1 hour, at which point the syrup will have thickened and the lemons will have pretty much fallen apart.
- Strain the syrup into a bowl. Transfer the fruit mixture to a mini food processor or a blender, or set in a measuring cup if using an immersion blender. Add 1 tablespoon of the syrup to the fruit mixture, and whir until you have a smooth, glistening purée. Add more syrup as needed to keep the fruit moving and to get a goop that's thick enough to form a ribbon when dropped from a spoon.
- Pack the goop in a tightly sealed container, and use it straight from the jar to glaze cooked fish, seafood or vegetables. The syrup can be used in marinades, rubs or even cocktails.
- Make the vinaigrette: Whisk all the ingredients together in a small bowl or shake in a jar. The goop, syrup and vinaigrette will keep for several weeks in the refrigerator.

After cooking, immediately plunge vegetables into the ice-cold water to cool quickly, drain, then pat dry with kitchen paper.
- For the dressing, whisk together the oil and lemon juice, stir in the parsley, mint and chives, then season. Take the dressing and vegetables to the picnic in separate containers, then toss gently together to serve.
