Calypso citrus ginger dressing
2 1/2 ounces ginger root, peeled and roughly chopped (2 pieces of fresh ginger about 2 1/2 inches long and 1 1/4 inches in diameter)
5 medium garlic cloves
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 3/4 cups vegetable oil
1
In a good blender or a food processor fitted with the metal blade, puree or process ginger, garlic and sugar until smooth. Add lemon juice, wine, salt and paprika; puree or process again.
2
With motor running, slowly pour oil through feed tube or lid as you would if making mayonnaise. If mixture begins to turn oily, stop adding oil. (Amount of oil listed here should be just right for the other ingredients, but as we all know, there is always a margin of mismeasuring in every recipe.)
Makes about 2 2/3 cups.
