Rosemary Garlic Red Wine Vinegar Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a charcoal grill or broiler, or heat a grill pan.
• Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper on both sides. Place oil in a flat dish, and add soy sauce, vinegar, rosemary, garlic, coriander, cumin, lemon rind and pepper flakes. Blend well. Place fish steaks in marinade, coat well on both sides, cover with plastic wrap and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes.
• If the swordfish is to be cooked on a grill (or grill pan), place fish on grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook for 3 minutes more. Cook longer if desired. If it is to be cooked under a broiler, place fish on a rack and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Serve with a string bean salad.

Steps:

• Shake vinegar, 1/4 cup rosemary and 3 garlic cloves in tightly covered glass jar or bottle. Let stand in cool, dry place 10 days.
• Place 1 sprig rosemary in clear glass bottle. Thread 2 garlic cloves and the chilies alternatly on bamboo skewer; place in bottle.
• Strain vinegar mixture; pour into bottle. Store at room temperature.

Steps:

• Pour the wine into a clean, wide-mouthed half-gallon glass jar. Put the lid on and shake it well to aerate the wine. Remove lid, and add drinking water until the jar is about three-quarters full, along with the live raw vinegar or mother. Cover the jar with cheesecloth and keep the cloth in place with a rubber band.
• Leave the jar undisturbed in a dark place at room temperature for 3 to 4 weeks, checking regularly to see that a vinegar mother (a translucent, gelatinous disk) is growing on the surface, and no mold is forming. (If you see green, black or white mold, scrape it off; if it grows back, throw out the mixture and start over.) You should begin to smell vinegar after a few weeks, and can taste it every week or so to monitor the fermentation.
• After about 2 months, when the alcohol has acidified, or when a taste of the vinegar makes your mouth pucker, it's ready to strain and bottle. (You can save the mother to begin a new batch.) The vinegar can be used as is, or aged in the bottle for up to a year to mellow its flavor.

Steps:

• In a sterile 1 quart glass jar, combine the rosemary leaves, garlic and vinegar.
• Cover tightly with lid.
• Place in cool dark place and allow to steep for 4 days to 2 weeks.
• Strain through a fine sieve, reserving garlic but discarding rosemary leaves.
• Pour into hot sterile bottles; adding garlic and rosemary sprigs and seal.

Steps:

• Dust snails in flour. In a medium saute pan with olive oil over medium heat, add onions and garlic and saute until translucent, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Add snails and rosemary and continue to saute for 2 minutes. Add vinegar. Saute for an additional 2 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Serve immediately with crusty bread.

Steps:

• In a very clean 1-quart glass jar combine the rosemary leaves, the garlic, and the vinegar and let the mixture steep, covered with the lid, in a cool dark place for at least 4 days and up to 2 weeks, depending on the strength desired. Strain the vinegar through a fine sieve into a glass pitcher, reserving the garlic and discarding the rosemary leaves, and pour it into 2 very clean 1/2-pint glass jars. Add a rosemary sprig and some of the reserved garlic to each jar and seal the jars with the lids.

Steps:

• Pour the rice vinegar through a funnel into a 20-ounce bottle. Gently add the rosemary, orange zest and garlic cloves to the bottle until completely submerged. Add a tight-fitting spout with a rubber stopper. You can use the vinegar right away or refrigerate it for up to 1 month to allow the flavors to marry and infuse the vinegar. The longer the vinegar sits, the more the flavors will infuse.

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid; shake well. Refrigerate until serving. Just before serving, shake dressing again.
