COMMENT:
I love the flavor of cane syrup. So it’s natural that I would create a vinaigrette dressing using this wonderful ingredient. Most people are confused as to the flavor of cane syrup and often compare it to molasses, however, nothing could be further from the truth. Molasses is a much stronger and darker syrup and is used in dishes such as gingerbread and spice cakes. Cane syrup is more of a breakfast syrup.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tbsp minced onions
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp chopped basil
- 1 tsp chopped thyme
- 1 tsp cracked black pepper
- 1 tsp Creole mustard
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 2 tbsps orange juice
- 1 tbsp cane syrup
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup olive oil
- salt and cracked black pepper to taste
METHOD:
Place egg yolk in a large mixing bowl. Using a wire whisk, whip egg for one minute. Add onions, garlic, basil, thyme, black pepper, mustard, vinegar, orange juice and cane syrup. Continue to whip until all ingredients are blended. Pour oil in a slow steady stream until all is incorporated. Season to taste using salt and pepper. |
