Mustard Mint Oil

4 fluid ounces corn oil

14 mint sprigs, stems removed

4 drops mustard oil

1/4 cup confectioner sugar

Combine all ingredients in a blender, blend briefly and place in cooler for 2 hours to allow infusion; strain and then use to garnish plate.

New World Romesco

10-12 ounces water

6 ounces corn oil

1 ancho chile cleaned and deseeded

1 dried chipotle chile cleaned and deseeded

3 tomatoes

5 garlic cloves

2 ounces unsalted butter

1 tablespoon cilantro chopped

3 ounces Grey Poupon^® Classic Dijon Mustard

 

Place water into a small sauté pan and bring to a boil then turn heat to a low. While water comes to a boil place corn oil in another sauté pan and bring to almost the smoke point.

Briefly pass ancho chile through hot oil then drop into sauté pan with hot water and turn off heat. Drop chipotle chile into water; both chiles should be submerged in hot water; set aside.

Place tomatoes into the pan with the hot oil and caramelize one side then turn over and place in broiler on medium heat of oven at 350°F. Cook until lightly charred and cooked all the way through, approximately 10 minutes. Just before tomatoes are done, drop garlic into pan and roast lightly browning on all sides. Combine 2 of the roasted tomatoes and garlic, chiles into blender and blend until smooth. Strain through a perforated chinois and add unsalted butter, chopped cilantro, and 2 oz of the Grey Poupon^® Classic Dijon Mustard. Season, adjust consistency and serve hot. This sauce is very much driven by the quality and spice in the dry chiles, what that means is that depending on how fresh and potent the chiles are determines how many tomatoes and how much of the Grey Poupon^® Classic Dijon Mustard one will use in this recipe. Luckily the ratio is simple, use 1 ounce for every 1 tomato. Hence if you need to use 3 tomatoes because the chiles are too strong then you will need 3 ounces of the mustard.
