Rosemary & Balsamic marinade
Makes: 200ml
Ingredients
2 Rosemary sprigs, broken into small pieces
100ml Aged balsamic vinegar
150ml Extra virgin olive oil
3 Garlic cloves, bashed so the skins are split
1 tbsp Clear honey


Method
The marinade- In a shallow, non-metallic dish, mix together all the ingredients except for the honey. (If you are using a vinegar that is not thick, first boil double the amount in a shallow pan for 3–5 minutes until syrupy and reduced, then cool.)
Season the mixture and add the meat or fish. Rub well all over and cover. For meat, marinate for 2 hours in the fridge or overnight. Fish should be marinated for up to 30 minutes in the fridge; any longer and the acidic vinegar will start 'cooking' the fish.
To cook Once the fish or meat has been placed on the grill or barbecue, mix the honey in with the excess marinade. Baste the food while cooking; the sugars in the honey will start to caramelise and allow the marinade to adhere to the food like a glaze.

Simple Balsamic Vinaigrette or Marinade

This vinaigrette has a tangy flavor and works well over mixed greens, fresh sliced tomato, onion and cucumber salads. It can also be drizzled sparingly over steamed vegetables. You can use traditional aged balsamic vinegar, but with this white balsamic recipe, the appearance of the vinaigrette will not be dark and should be a slightly sweeter balsamic vinaigrette.
Makes 1 cup.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup Spanish extra virgin olive oil

1/2 cup white balsamic vinegar (aged traditional balsamic if desired)

1 garlic clove, peeled and pressed through a garlic press

1 teaspoon ground mustard powder

1 pinch sea salt

fresh ground black pepper to taste


Method:

In a small bowl, combine together olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, garlic, and mustard powder, whisk evenly. Season to your own personal taste with salt and fresh ground black pepper. You can add fresh minced herbs if desired.
Prep time: about 5 minutes
