Lemon Myrtle Dressing - thanks to Sammy Ringer
Ingredients: - To make
4 cups
1. 1 litre 400ml white wine vinegar
2. 1/2 tsp salt
3. 2 tsp castor sugar
4. 2 tsp dried ground lemon myrtle leaf
5. 1/2 tsp ground mountain pepper
6. Quality Paddymelon oil
Method:
1. Combine the vinegar, salt and castor sugar, heat gently till the sugar
is dissolved.
2. Remove from heat and add the lemon myrtle and mountain pepper berry.
The heat will help release the natural oil in the lemon myrtle and pepper.
3. Once the mix is cool, slowly whisk in the oil.
This dressing will separate if left to stand so give it a good shake or
stir before using.
