Green Bobasco Vinaigrette |
A fresh vinaigrette with chillies. The bringing to a boil is optional. Discarding seeds would produce a milder version, but would be a lot of bother. Possibly worth doing if you wanted to blend the chillies instead of juicing them, producing a version of Green Chilli Relish.
The purpose of the vinaigrette is to have a light, liquid-only version of the Green Chilli Relish, heavier on the vinegar, for liberally splashing on food for a chilli-acid hit. A milder version could be made with more limes and no vinegar.
60 green chillies 2 limes skin removed 2 cloves garlic 1 large onion 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary 3 10m fleshy stalks lemon grass .5 cup fresh parsley .5 cup fresh lovage (or celery if lovage unobtainable)
Push the above through a juicer and discard the pulp (all you want is the juice).
Bring the juice to a simmer and let cool.
Pour juice a blender and add
.5 cup olive oil .5 cup white wine vinegar 1 tablespoon salt .5 cup fresh young curry leaves juice of half lemon
Blend smooth and bottle.
