Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon butter
½ cup brown sugar
12 ounces walnut halves
½ cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 ¼ teaspoons chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chervil
½ cup walnut oil
½ cup peanut oil

salt to taste
ground multi-colored peppercorns to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar, and cook until the sugar has melted and turned deep brown - but not burnt, 5 to 8 minutes.

Cook until the center of the walnuts have just turned a light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Once done, remove from the oven and allow to cool until warm or room temperature.
  • Whisk the vinegar together with the chives, parsley, dill, and chervil. Whisk in walnut and peanut oils until well combined.
