Dark Chocolate & Espresso Balsamic Truffles
Ingredients
- 1 pound quality dark chocolate, chopped (Cocoa 56%+)
- 8 oz. heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbs. Espresso Balsamic
- 1/3 cup good quality cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions:
Place chopped chocolate in a wide, heatproof bowl; (I place mine in my stand-mixer bowl. This way I can melt the chocolate and then whip it, using only one bowl.)
In a heavy bottom pan, bring the heavy cream and salt to a boil. Turn down the heat and let the cream simmer for a full minute. Stir often, making sure the cream does not burn.
Immediately take the cream from the heat and pour evenly over the chopped chocolate. Resist the temptation to stir. Allow to sit for 2-4 minutes in order to melt the chocolate.
When the chocolate has melted, stir the ingredients together with a heatproof rubber spatula. Use the spatula to stir any larger pieces of chocolate into the warm cream to dissolve them. You should end up with a smooth, glossy mixture referred to as ganache.
Add the Vanilla Balsamic Vinegar to the chocolate ganache and mix thoroughly. The ganache will thicken as it cools and when it reached room temperature, can be piped. To make traditional truffles, pipe small portions (approximately 2 tsp.) of ganache onto parchment paper or another non-stick surface. These portions will continue to cool and solidify and can then be rolled into small balls. Dredge the balls in the cocoa powder. If used while warm, the ganache can be poured over cakes or used to dip fruit.

Grilled Wild Salmon and Asparagus in Wild Rosemary Olive Oil-Lemon Cream Sauce over Rosemary Infused Pappardelle
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh wild salmon fillet(s)
- 1 bunch of thin, tender asparagus, woody stems discarded,
- 1 pound dried pappardelle pasta cooked al dente
(or see my recipe for fresh rosemary pappardelle below)
- 1 thinly sliced shallot
- 1 clove minced garlic
- 1/2 cup crisp, dry white wine
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 5 tablespoons Wild Rosemary Olive Oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary and/or flat leaf parsley to garnish

Rub the salmon and toss the asparagus spears with a mixture of 2 tablespoon of rosemary olive oil whisked with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Season amply both the salmon and asparagus liberally with salt and fresh ground pepper. Grill or broil until just cooked, being careful to err on the side of under-cooking both the salmon and asparagus. The most important thing here is to sear the salmon and asparagus on the exterior. After grilling, cut the asparagus in to 2″ pieces and break the salmon in to large meaty chunks and set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook the dried pasta based on the package directions. If using the fresh pasta recipe below, cook for two minutes and drain well.
In a saute pan, heat two tablespoon rosemary olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced shallots and cook until tender. Add the garlic and saute for another minute being careful not to burn the garlic. Add the wine and lemon juice. Continue cooking until the liquid is reduced by half. Add the cream and the remaining dill olive oil. Stir until the mixture simmers and thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
To serve, add the asparagus to the pan with the sauce and cook for an additional two minutes, being careful not to make mushy. Add the salmon chunks and cook to warm through, being careful not to break the chunks up. Ladle over drained pasta and serve garnished with rosemary and or flat leaf parsley.

The most amazing Mustard Recipe
The primary ingredient in mustard is vinegar!
And do you know what that means? The vinegar used to make a given mustard is HUGELY important in terms of the overall flavor and quality of the mustard. Make an amazing mustard recipe with your favorite Balsamic Vinegar!
Ingredients
- 1 cup ground yellow mustard seed
- 2/3 cup vinegar BOOC likes Tangerine Balsamic, Maple Balsamic, Honey Ginger, Espresso!)
- 1/3 cup honey (omit this if you are using a sweeter vinegar such as tangerine balsamic)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt, truffle salt, pink mineral salt,
Directions:
Combine the ingredients in a small saucepan and cook over medium to medium-low heat for 6 minutes. Stir frequently until it thickens and then remove from heat. Allow the mustard to cool before storing it in an airtight container.You can also play around by adding herbs, sea salts, ale, wine, chillies, peppercorns, horseradish, and on and on. The possibilities here are endless.
Depending on how spicy you like your mustard, you can refrigerate it at this point, which will preserve its fiery characteristic, or allow it to sit at room temperature for a day +/- which will mellow it’s flavor the longer it sits out.
Now peep this… ready? A tablespoon of this mustard is all you need to emulsify (hold together) a great vinaigrette or marinade. Place the mustard in a bowl, and slowly whisk in the vinegar of your choice. Whisking quickly and continuously, follow with the olive oil of your choice. The key here is to whisk briskly so that it creates a homogenous emulsification that holds the oil and vinegar together as opposed to what it would normally do which is separate.
I love the creativity that this recipe allows! Have fun!
