    Title: Basic Vinaigrette
    Categories: British, Dressings
    Yield: 1 Pint

    300 ml Extra virgin olive oil; (10
    -oz)
    300 ml Ground-nut oil; (10 oz)
    25 ml Balsamic vinegar; (1 oz)
    1 bn Fresh basil
    1/2 bn Fresh tarragon
    3 Fresh thyme sprigs; up to 4
    12 Black peppercorns
    3 Shallots; finely chopped
    2 cl Garlic; crushed
    1 Bay leaf
    1 ts Coarse sea salt

    Warm the olive and ground-nut oil together. Place all the remaining
    ingredients into a 750 ml / 1-1/4 pint bottle. Pour the oil into the
    bottle and close with a cork or screw top. For the best results,
    leave to marinate for a week which will allow all the flavours to
    enhance the oils. To help the dressing along, shake the bottle once a
    day. Taste for seasoning before using.
