Method:
  • In a small stainless steel or glass mixing bowl, mix together the mustard and the vinegar to combine.
  • Mix the oils together and place in a pourable cup.
  • Starting with a slow steady stream, whip the oil into the mustard and vinegar mixture using a wire whisk.
  • Do not add the oil too fast or the emulsion will not take place.
  • When all of the oil is incorporated, add the minced vegetables, herbs and spices.
To Serve:
  • Pour the oil into a heavy bottomed pot and heat gradually to 350 degrees. A candy thermometer works well to see how hot your oil is.
