Balsamic Caper And Anchovy Marinade Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk together all of the ingredients in a medium nonreactive bowl. Use marinade immediately.

Steps:

• Overlap cheese slices on medium platter.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in small skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and crushed pepper and stir just until garlic begins to color, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in oregano, salt, and pepper. Cool. Stir in capers and remaining 4 tablespoons oil. Spoon over cheese slices.

Steps:

• Lay the anchovies out on a plate and pour the vinegar on top to cover. Let marinate and cook until the anchovies turn white, about 10 minutes, and then remove from the marinade and pat dry. Arrange the anchovies in a serving dish with the olives and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle the olive oil on top and finish with the parsley.

Steps:

• Put the anchovies into a bowl of water and soak for 20 minutes. Remove the bones and leave to dry on a paper towel.
• Marinate the rabbit in 3 tablespoons olive oil, the wine, lemon juice, 2 crushed cloves garlic, onion, carrot, celery, bay leaves, rosemary and parsley, and salt and pepper. Leave for 6 hours to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Take the rabbit out of the marinade, pat dry with a cloth or paper towel and toss each piece in seasoned flour.
• Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a good heavy frying pan. When hot throw in the pounded chili and brown the rabbit briskly. Place the rabbit in an iron casserole. Pour the marinade into the hot frying pan, bring rapidly to the boil and transfer to the casserole. Cook in the oven for 45 minutes.
• Chop up the anchovies, capers and remaining 2 cloves garlic and simmer in 1/4 pint (1/2 cup) of the rabbit liquid for 10 minutes. Add this to the casserole for a final amalgamation. Check seasoning and garnish with more chopped parsley. Some boiled new potatoes or fresh noodles are a good accompaniment.

Steps:

• Roast the peppers: Place each pepper directly on the flames of a stovetop burner or under the broiler as close to the flames as possible. (Alternatively, place the pepper on a hot charcoal or gas grill.) Turning frequently with tongs, allow the skin to blacken and blister all over; About 10 minutes should suffice. Remove from flames, and leave to rest on a plate until cool enough to handle. Ideally, you should cook all the peppers at once rather than one at a time.
• Cut the roasted pepper in half lengthwise. Using a small knife, scrape away and discard seeds. Turn over and scrape away the blackened skin. Wipe with a paper towel, if necessary. Do not rinse - a little char is fine. Leave the pepper halves in one piece or cut into strips 3/4-inch wide. Place in a small bowl, toss with salt and pepper, red-pepper flakes, garlic and a little olive oil. Leave to marinate at least 10 minutes.
• Lay pepper halves or strips flat on a plate and add 3 or 4 anchovy fillets per serving. Garnish with a few capers and olives. Sprinkle with a little more salt and olive oil, and scatter basil leaves over the top.

Steps:

• Whisk together all the ingredients in a medium, nonreactive bowl. Use the marinade immediately.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except shallot in a blender, and turn the machine on. A creamy emulsion will form within 30 seconds. Taste, and add more vinegar if necessary, about a teaspoon at a time, until the balance tastes right.
• Add shallot, and turn machine on and off a few times, until shallot is minced within the dressing. Taste, adjust seasoning and serve. (This vinaigrette is best made fresh but will keep refrigerated for a few days. Before using, bring it back to room temperature, and whisk briefly.)

Steps:

• Mix together all ingredients in a bowl. No salt needed because of the capers and anchovies.
