Sherry vinegar recipes
This vinegar is produced from the 鈥榤ust鈥� (freshly pressed unfermented juice) of the sherry grape. The most common sherry grape varieties used are the popular Palomino, the ultra-sweet Pedro Xim茅nez or aromatic Moscatel. Sherry vinegar is made in several bodegas in the Spanish province of C谩diz, inside an area known as the 鈥榮herry triangle鈥�. Authentic sherry vinegar is called 鈥榲inagre de Jerez鈥�, and by law the different grades must be aged in American oak barrels for a minimum of six months and up to or more than ten years. The vinegar is a pale-golden colour and is full-bodied, with a rich, strong, nutty, sweetish flavour that is well-rounded and complex.
You won't be able to stop eating these hot, garlicky mushrooms. You can make this dish with white button mushrooms, but it is more interesting to mix it up with chestnut mushrooms, portobellini and others.
