Preparation
- Step 1
Press currants through a fine sieve. Juice apple with a fresh-juice extractor. (If you do not have a juice extractor, you may substitute ¼ cup fresh apple cider and a drop of lemon juice.)
- Step 2
Combine currants with apple juice and slowly whisk in olive oil. Season with salt and white pepper, and add just a few drops of porcini oil. Serve over tuna or pork chops.

I opted to toss the currants in the vitamix which made quick work of them and then fed them through a sieve. I didn’t have a green apple on hand so a honey-crisp went into the vitamix as well along with some lemon juice to cut the sweet. I had to run all this through a fine strainer but the end result was sweet / tart and the olive oil balance the whole dressing off. Very tasty, I almost just wanted to drink it straight.
