Roasted Lemon Vinaigrette

 

¼ Cup Roasted Lemon Juice (instructions in recipe below)

2 T. White Balsamic Vinegar

3 Roasted Garlic Cloves

2 Shallots, Peeled

1 T. Dijon Mustard

1 Cup EVOO

1tsp. coarse Sea Salt

½tsp. Freshly Ground Black Pepper

 

To make Roasted Lemon Juice:  Preheat broiler. Place lemons, cut side up, in a small, non-aluminum baking dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast, about 6 inches below the heat, until very soft, about 20 minutes. The tops will darken and caramelize. Let cool in the baking dish. In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade add the lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, shallots, mustard, salt and pepper. Process until the ingredients are pureed. Add the oil in a slow, steady stream through the feed tube and continue to process until completely emulsified. Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
