Roasted Red Pepper Aoili

Use a dollop to finish a wide variety of dishes. Linda likes to dip her French fries in it.

Ingredients

1 tsp Dijon mustard

1 tsp salt

1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar

3 /4 cup extra virgin olive oil

1 /4 cup cottonseed oil

1 /8 tsp fresh ground black pepper

1 /2 cup roasted red bell peppers, small dice

Instructions

In a medium sized mixing bowl, vigorously whip together the yolks, salt and garlic with a wire whisk. Beat 4-5 minutes, until the yolks become light in color. Add vinegar, and slowly add the oils, beating constantly until both are incorporated. Fold in the roasted peppers and black pepper.

Best if refrigerated three days before using.

Honey Bundt Cake

This bundt cake brings back memories of family gatherings on Bellewood Drive where sweets were as much a part of the celebration as the presents under the tree. The warm notes of cinnamon and honey make it a natural fit for holiday mornings or as the perfect finish to a Christmas feast. The pomegranate glaze adds a bright, tart finish that keeps things interesting. Make sure to grease every nook and cranny of your bundt pan thoroughly. Use butter and dust with flour for a clean release. Also, letting the cake cool for a solid twenty minutes before flipping is key to avoiding a sticky mess.
