Slashfood Ate (8): Ways to savor sherry wine vinegar

Sherry wine tasting in Jerez

Ah, the sweet floral aroma and the spicy tang of a sherry wine vinegar! This summer, when craving fresh green crunchy lettuce, I think of drizzling vinaigrette made with sherry wine vinegar all over it. Sherry wine vinegar, called vinagre de Jerez in Spain, is aged in a similar way to balsamic vinegar. In Spain, you can find sherry wine vinegar from Jerez de la Frontera aged for 75 years. The aged sherry wine vinegar can be used similarly to an aged balsamic -- as a condiment for desserts and even cheese.

Below are 8 ways to savor sherry wine vinegar:

  1. Kohlrabi Slaw: Broccoli's milder and sweeter cousin, kohlrabi, is a delicious vegetable. When young, its stem tastes sweet and crunchy like an apple. Enjoy it mixed with sherry wine vinegar in this heavenly slaw!
  2. Chicken with fresh herbs and sherry wine vinegar
  3. Sea bass with sherry vinegar glaze and mushroom saute
  4. Beet, avocado and pink grapefruit salad with sherry dressing - This is without a doubt one of my favorite salads and a must try for every one.
  5. Gazpacho salsa - This summer, when entertaining, make sure to accompany your tortilla chips with this incredible salsa. Just two tablespoons of sherry wine vinegar spice up this salsa and make it an absolute necessity at any party.
  6. Basic sherry wine vinaigrette
  7. Olive-oil-poached salmon and braised artichokes with sauvignon blanc
  8. Baked halibut with warm sherry onion vinaigrette

I either use small button or quarter larger white mushrooms and sautee them in some olive oil with some garlic and onion. Season with salt and black pepper, then add a liberal amount of sherry vinegar (1/2 a cup or more, depending on how many mushrooms you have). Allow to boil and reduce until there is nothing left or what is left is thick and caramelized. Chill and eat! I also make a vinaigrette with some oil and s&p and brush it on some veggies for grilling, a nice coating before and another coating after grilling. I love sherry vinegar!
