  • About

This recipe is an extra I wanted to include because it can have so many uses with many recipes, even though I haven’t featured it specially anywhere in the book. It goes particularly well with the Peppered Roast Beef along with a good mixed salad. Or just use it as a dressing for a mixed salad.

Ingredients

  • 4 large shallots or 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon green peppercorns, lightly crushed<

Method

Mix the shallots with the peppercorns in a small pan and add the brandy. Bring to the boil, then boil to reduce until almost dry. Add the basic vinaigrette or mustard dressing and season with salt if needed. This can now be used as a warm or cold dressing.
