this is Chef Marco and today we’re going to talk about emotions what is an emulsion it’s just a suspension of particles and today I’m going to use this whole grain mustard as a way of suspending the particles in this dressing so I’ve got my whole grain mustard in here along with some balsamic vinegar i’m going to whisk that together and then I’m going to slowly stream in a high quality olive oil i’m going to just let it coat the back of a spoon to let me know I’m in the ballpark of where I need to be then I’m going to squeeze in a little bit of fresh orange juice along with some fresh ginger root and some salt and pepper whisk that together and you’ve got yourself a balsamic vinegrett and you might ask yourself why do I want to do this instead of buying it at the store well because it’s more cost effective it’s easy to produce and it’s got better flavor and you can tell your friends that you made it yourself so now that we’ve made an emulsion what the heck are we going to do with it well I’m going to take this dressing and I’m just going to coat it over our wild red arugula and then I’m going to add some spiffy ingredients i’ve got some blood oranges here we’re going to just tuck a few of those in there and you know you got a good blood orange when you see red color on the periphery of the orange and I’m going to take some grapefruit supremes and tuck those in here and to make a grapefruit supreme you just need a sharp pairing knife one continuous cut down and back up and how about some pickled radish we’ll get that on there some red onion and a little bit of pomegranate seed and some toasted walnut along with some fresh chives and to finish it out I’m just going to do some orange zest [Music] so there’s a thousand ways you can use emulsions to make beautiful food you can use them as a marinade you could use them as a sauce or you can use them as a dressing with food just like this have fun enjoy and be happy
