Nasturtium-Chive Vinegar
A bright, herb-infused vinegar featuring nasturtium leaves and blooms along with fresh chives.
Ingredients
- 1 bottle unseasoned white rice vinegar or white wine vinegar (12–16 ounces)
- 6–8 leaves nasturtium (fresh; discard any damaged leaves)
- 3–4 blooms nasturtium (fresh)
- 1 small handful fresh chives or garlic chives (include blooms if desired)
Instructions
- Cut and gather the nasturtium leaves and blooms along with the chives or garlic chives. Discard any damaged leaves. Wash gently under cool water and pat dry.
- Push the herbs into a bottle of vinegar, or combine in a larger jar with a nonreactive lid. Ensure the herbs are completely submerged.
- Let the mixture steep for several days before using. Strain if desired.
Notes
Besides making oil-and-vinegar dressings, use this vinegar to perk up butter sauces, slaws, sautéed meats, or mayonnaise.
