Bacon and Brown Butter Vinaigrette - ATK

By norsegal8

Ingredients

• 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 slice bacon, chopped fine
• 3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
• 1 shallot, minced
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat 6 tablespoons butter in 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until melted. Continue to cook, swirling pan constantly until butter is dark golden brown and has nutty aroma, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and transfer browned butter to large heatproof bowl. Stir remaining 2 tablespoons butter into hot butter to melt. Wipe skillet clean with paper towel.
2. Cook bacon in now-empty skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 5 to 7 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towel–lined plate. Pour off any bacon fat into browned butter. Add vinegar, shallot, mustard, maple syrup, and oil to browned butter mixture; whisk until emulsified, about 30 seconds. Stir in reserved bacon.
