BASIC VINAIGRETTE
This recipe may be easily modified by changing the oils and
vinegars used.
Makes 1½ cups
1 garlic clove or small shallot, peeled
(cut shallot into ½-inch pieces)
3 tablespoons wine vinegar
3 tablespoons white vinegar or lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
½ cup vegetable oil or light flavored
olive oil
Place garlic or shallot in work bowl; pulse on Chop 5 times.
Scrape the work bowl. Add the vinegars, mustard, salt and
pepper. Process on Chop until smooth, about 5 seconds.
With the machine running on Chop, add the oils slowly, in
a steady stream, through one of the holes in the recessed
area of the cover. After all the oil has been added, process
on Grind for an additional 10 seconds. Taste and adjust
seasonings as needed.
This dressing is best made at least ½ hour ahead of serv-
ing. Vinaigrette will keep well for one week if in refrigera-
tor, covered. Remove from refrigerator about 30 minutes
before serving; it may need to be reprocessed if separation
has occurred.

the meat should be about 150°F; it will rise to 160-165°F
while resting. Let rest for 10 minutes; slice and serve with
remaining reserved marinade drizzled over the meat.
