Sherry Tomato Vinaigrette (CBF Recipe of the Week)

I found this recipe at chow.com and it seem to fit in with what our customers ordered this past week: tomatoes, salad, herbs. It's certainly an adaptable one (always key) to what's on hand. Even if fresh tomatoes aren't in your kitchen, canned ones would probably do the trick. It was recommended with a steak salad or hearty salad as a sauce for grilled chicken. All sounding delish! Dressing will last 1 week in the fridge.

Sherry Tomato Vinaigrette

Ingredients
  • 120ml grapeseed or sunflower oil
  • 160g cherry or pear-shaped tomatoes
  • 1 medium garlic clove, coarsely chopped
  • 1 medium shallot, coarsely chopped
  • 30ml sherry vinegar
  • 60ml extra-virgin olive oil
  • fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • 3g finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley or chives

    Directions
    1. Heat 1 tablespoon of the grapeseed oil in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add tomatoes and sear, stirring occasionally, until the skins pucker and begin to color, about 2 minutes. (Be careful: When the tomatoes get hot, some might burst.) Stir in garlic and shallot and cook until slightly softened, about 1 minute more.
    2. Transfer tomato mixture to a small, deep mixing bowl, add vinegar, and purée with an immersion blender or use a standard blender. Slowly add the remaining grapeseed oil and the olive oil in a thin, steady stream, blending constantly with the immersion blender, until well incorporated. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, mix in herbs, taste, and adjust seasoning as desired. Serve immediately or store in fridge in airtight container.
