Pickled Shallots
Shallots sliced thin on a mandoline and quick-pickled in red wine vinegar with peppercorns. Five minutes for acidity you will use all week.
Spiked White Balsamic and Honey Lemonade
Honey lemonade with vodka and white balsamic condiment, served over a large cube with a dehydrated lemon wheel.
Red Wine Vinaigrette
Olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon, garlic and shallot with fresh herbs. Works as a dressing, a marinade, or a sauce for roasted vegetables.
Sauce Bolognese
Ground beef cooked down slowly with soffritto and wine over at least two and a half hours. Better still if you make it the day before.
Olive Oil Martini
A savory martini built on vodka infused with Chianti Classico olive oil, with dry vermouth and a dash of orange bitters.
