Toasted Cumin Vinaigrette
| Ingredients | Measures |
|---|---|
| Cumin seed | 2 tablespoons |
| Extra virgin olive oil | 1 cup |
| White wine vinegar | 1/3 cup |
| Honey, warm | 1 tablespoon |
| Kosher salt | To taste |
| Black pepper, freshly ground | To taste |
Method
In dry sauté pan over a moderate heat, toast the cumin seed until aromatic and slightly darkened. Shake the pan constantly while toasting the seeds to assure that they do not scorch and turn bitter. Once toasted, remove them from the hot pan to stop the cooking.
Place all ingredients in blender and purée until smooth and emulsified. There will be a little bit of texture from the cumin seed.
Reserve the vinaigrette for service.
