Ingredients
- dates - watch the video to see (pitted and soaked until soft)
- red wine vinegar - 1/2 teaspoon (for acidity and tang)
- mustard - 1/2 to 1 teaspoon (adds mustiness and flavor)
- garlic - 1 clove (one clove, finely minced)
- black pepper - a pinch (fresh cracked)
- olive oil - 1/4 cup (good quality, added slowly to emulsify)
Instructions
- Soak Dates: Place pitted dates in a cup and soak them in water for about 10 minutes until they are nice and soft.
- Combine Vinegar and Mustard: Add red wine vinegar and mustard to a mixing bowl. Use 1/2 teaspoon of each, or up to 1 teaspoon of mustard if you prefer a stronger flavor.
- Add Garlic and Pepper: Add one clove of minced garlic and a pinch of freshly cracked black pepper to the mixture.
- Blend Dates into Mixture: Add the soaked dates to the bowl and blend or mix until smooth.
- Emulsify with Olive Oil: Slowly add the olive oil while continuously mixing or using an immersion blender to emulsify the sauce. The mixture will separate initially but will come together as you blend.
- Bottle and Store: Once emulsified and smooth, bottle the sauce and store it for use as a versatile condiment.
