Our Favorite Vinaigrettes from the Vinaigrette Whisperer

Sunday, January 17, 2016

We dubbed Chef Jarrett Stieber the vinaigrette whisperer for a reason - his vinaigrettes elevate his already amazing recipes to the next level! He taught us that vinaigrettes aren’t just for salads. They’re great over grains, meats & more.

Here are some our favorite vinaigrettes from the vinaigrette whisperer himself:

Cocoa Nib Vinaigrette

We dubbed Chef Jarrett Stieber the vinaigrette whisperer for a reason - this vinaigrette! We served it over Lamb Chops with Roasted Potatoes & Arugula and it was divine!

• 1 Tbsp oil
• 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 Tbsp honey
• 1 Tbsp cocoa nibs
• salt & pepper to taste

Coffee Vinaigrette

This vinaigrette is delicious over pork!

• 2 Tbsp oil
• 2 Tbsp cider vinegar
• 1 Tbsp honey
• 1/2 tsp ground espresso
• salt & pepper to taste

Olive Vinaigrette

Simply puree this one in a food processor or blender for a salty & citrus-y vinaigrette with a hint of sweet. For a little texture, only puree half the olives and chop the remaining olives. It is incredible over seafood, like this week's Roasted Salmon. 

• 3 Tbsp oil
• 1/2 c kalamata olives
• 2 Tbsp cider vinegar
• 2 Tbsp honey
• 1/2 orange, juiced

Buttermilk Vinaigrette

If creamy is your preference, this vinaigrette is for you! We served it over Chicken Sausage with Baby Fennel, Shiitake Mushrooms & Peaches.

• 2 Tbsp oil
• 2 Tbsp cider vinegar
• 1 Tbsp honey
• 2 Tbsp whole buttermilk
• salt & pepper to taste

The key to these vinaigrettes is to whisk vigorously to get a thick & creamy emulsion.
