To roast the beets, coat them with olive oil and salt. Place them in a pan and fill half way with blackberry vinegar (I used a bottle of the blackberry vin you sent plus some plain white to supplement so I would have enough to keep working with. But ideally, it would use straight blackberry vin.) Cover the pan with foil and roast at 350 for 1 hour or until tender. Combine the beets, with the remaining ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth.

Black Soy Vinegar

BLACK SOY BEAN SALAD

This is basically a take on a three bean salad using organic soy beans from Next Step Produce, our soy sauce and black soy vinegar.

1 cup dry black soy beans
1 cup dry soy beans
1 poblano pepper, finely diced
1 jalapeno Pepper, finely diced
2 leek whites, finely diced
2 shallots, finely diced
2 cups shiitake caps, finely diced
4 tablespoons Lindera Farms Soy Sauce
2 tablespoons Lindera Farms Black Soy vinegar
3 tablespoons good extra Virgin olive oil
8 cups vegetable stock

Before beginning, allow the black and white soy beans to soak in double their volume of water, separately. Beans should look mostly rehydrated before cooking. 

In separate pots, cook the beans with the vegetable stock and some salt to season, until tender.  Remove and allow to cool, while reserving some of the cooking liquid

Begin by sweating and slightly caramelizing the shiitake mushrooms. Deglaze with  the cooking liquid from the beans., repeat the process with the peppers, shallots and leeks together, this time deglazing with the soy sauce. Allow too cool.

To finish, mix the olive oil, the vinegar, the shiitakes and veggies, and the beans altogether. Allow to marinate for at least 1 hour before serving. Should be served nearly at room temperature.

Remove and allow to cool to room temperature. Place the sugar, salt, ground spices, and 3 oz of the vinegar into a pot and bring to a simmer, then allow to cool before adding the final oz of vinegar. Melt the butter. Add the Potatoes, Vinegar Syrup and eggs to a blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth. While mixing; incorporate the melted butter slowly to emulsify.

Persimmon Vinegar

JOSE ANDRES SALAD

Salad

3 Large Heirloom Tomatoes
4 or 5 strawberries
2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
6 large basil leaves
1 Large ripe avocado


Dressing

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp pomegranate molasses
3 tbsp Persimmon Vinegar
Fresh cracked black pepper to taste

Have a large pot of boiling water and a large ice bath standing by.

Cut out the top part of the core from the tomatoes, flip them over, slice a cross into the bottom of the tomatoes.

Place tomatoes into boiling water for about 3 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon and place them into an ice bath to chill for about 15 seconds.

Once tomatoes have chilled, peel them (starting from the bottom where the cross is). Cut into quarters and set aside.

Peel the strawberries using a paring knife, and cut the tops off.

Place your pan on a burner over medium heat and drizzle the extra virgin olive oil onto the pan. Once the oil is hot, place the strawberries in the pan. Cook both sides for about 30 seconds each, remove from pan and set aside.

Peel your avocado and slice into two halves - you only need one half for the salad, set the other aside (or eat it while assembling the salad like I do). Place the half you’ll be using for the salad in the middle of the plate, pit side down.

Spread the peeled/quartered tomatoes along the outer rim of the plate, evenly spaced. Add the strawberries in between the tomatoes and the avocado.

Make the dressing: add EVOO, pomegranate molasses, black pepper, and Persimmon vinegar to the bowl. Whisk until thoroughly combined.

Drizzle the dressing over the plate. Top with basil leaves, and add a few more cracks of black pepper.

East Carolina BBQ Sauce

SOUS VIDE PULLED PORK

1 ½ lbs pork shoulder
⅛ cup East Carolina Barbeque Sauce
1 ½ tsp Heirloom Pepper Salt

Set the temperature on your immersion circulator to 165°F / 74ºC and place it inside a large pot of water. While the water heats up, rub the Heirloom Pepper salt onto the pork shoulder, then toss it into a large zipper-lock/vacuum sealable bag. Splash in the BBQ sauce as well.

Seal the bag with a vacuum sealer, or use the displacement method if you’re using a zipper-lock bag. Drop your sealed pork into the water bath, set a timer for 18 to 24 hours, and maybe have some wine while you contemplate the state of the world right now.

Once the pork is finished, remove the bag from the water and place the pork in a separate bowl (without the cooking liquid). Pull the pork apart, toss half the cooking liquid back into the pork (or all of it - we won’t judge), and you’re done!

Olive Oil Vinaigrette

PEACH AND KALE SLAW

1 ½ cups shredded kale (preferably tuscan)
1 cup shredded purple cabbage
1 cup thin sliced cucumber (peeled and seeded)
¼ cup chopped green onion

For the apples: Preheat an oven to 350°F. Slice the apples from the sides into ⅓ inch - ½ inch slices. Brush the slices with extra virgin olive oil and season with sea salt. Bake for 5 - 8 minutes, or until semi-firm, mimicking the texture of a ripe tomato. Allow slices to cool to room temperature and season to taste.

For the fried herbs: Heat canola oil to 350°F and add most of the herbs in small batches, frying until bubbling has died down. Remove with a strainer and dry on paper towels before seasoning. Set aside a small sprig of each herb for garnish.

To plate: Slice the mozzarella into ⅓ inch - ½ inch slices, similar to the apples. Salt and season the mozzarella with olive oil and Applejack Vinegar. Add alternating slices of the apples and the mozzarella, dressing with the Applejack Vinegar and the fried herbs. Top with the fresh herbs.
