Ingredients

The shiso grape base

  • 500 g cleaned grapes
  • 80 g ginger syrup
  • 30 g lime juice
  • 3 g salt
  • 8 shiso green leaves

The chives oil

  • 30 g chives
  • 150 g neutral oil I use sunflower or grape seed oil

Instructions

The shiso grape base

  • Start by cleaning enough grapes for 500 grams.
  • Transfer them into a measuring jar and also add the ginger syrup, the lime juice, the salt and the shiso green leaves. Now blend it till smooth. Ensure you have a super strong blender for the best even result.
  • When there are no more green pieces and the color is even pass the base through a fine sieve. Press it through using a ladle so you don’t waste a single drop.
  • Keep it in your fridge so the base doesn’t chance color. The air bubbles will also float to the top leaving you with a lovely clear color. If you’re in a hurry you can always vacuum the bubbles out.

The chives oil

  • First cut the chives into more manageable pieces. Transfer them into a blender and also add the oil.
  • Then blend it till the temperature of the oil is 65 °C. It will heat up from the friction.
  • Once that’s done let it drain on a super fine sieve or a sieve that’s lined with a kitchen paper. Do this in your fridge so the color doesn’t turn brown. 
  • Now to finish the vinaigrette mix 2 parts of the base with 1 part of the chive oil. Before serving you just need to give it a good mix.
