Simple and Elegant Tarragon Garlic Wine Vinegar

Tarragon Garlic Wine Vinegar

This is the simplest recipe you could ever hope to find that also offers such complex and rich results. It is key that you begin with a good red wine vinegar, very fresh garlic and the freshest possible tarragon. And that’s it, just three ingredients.

Kim chose a vintage Cabernet Sauvignon vinegar from the Spanish Table in Santa Fe (see www.spanishtable.com):

Break the tarragon into sprigs (use about as much as this photo suggests):

Peel four large cloves of garlic:

Partially fill a glass container with red wine vinegar:

Drop in the garlic:

Place the tarragon into the container:

Fill with vinegar:

And voila! Tarragon Garlic Wine Vinegar:

Not so fast though… it has to age at least a month. I had some the other day that had been aged more than a year. Pure heaven! If your container is clear glass as this one is, you will need to both age it and store it in a cool, dark place. Wonderful in salad dressings.

ENJOY!

Love to you all,

Jeane

    You show dishes that are quite tidy to look upon. I made a perfect omlette recently, and looked at with photography on my mind, but here it sat with some mushrooms falling out the side, a drool of cheese hanging from it, and decided to just eat it.
    The one presented here is beautiful, and sounds quite delicious.

About Me

About High Road Artist IMG 9461 150x150I am Jeane George Weigel, a working artist living in the mountains of northern New Mexico, and I do not think you and I are so different.

Every single one of us longs to know what we ache for, to “follow our bliss” as Joseph Campbell famously put it. You may find yours as an artist, a writer, or a teacher. But I am convinced we all yearn to live what is in our hearts. Some of us spend a lifetime discovering what that is. Some never find it.

This blog is about a journey of self-discovery, yours and mine. I write about the experience of living an artist’s life and share musings and photos as this living experiment unfolds. It is my hope you’ll join in the conversation by writing to me about your lives and I dearly hope something, here, will inspire you.
