I was making a salad with Brussels sprouts and the person who gave it to me (Roger, a young fellow from Feibus) said to season it with a balsamic vinegar reduction .
Although I had a taste for balsamic vinegar reduction (it's thick, like syrup), I'd never made it at home. So I decided to ask Saint Google to see what fate had in store for me. I found and read several recipes, all very interesting (I'll make some soon). But they all took at least half an hour... and my salad was almost ready.
I decided to make an express balsamic vinegar reduction. I'll explain the details here. I really liked the result. It came out very well. I was quite happy with the sweet flavor of the dressing . And even happier with the photos, which turned out like meticulous landscapes.
Ingredients
For 1 salad
- 2 tbsp. of balsamic aceto
- 1 cdita. of sugar
How to make a quick balsamic vinegar reduction
and feel cheto all afternoon
1. Place the balsamic vinegar and sugar over very low heat and stir.
2. Let it sit for about 5 minutes . The vinegar will give off an overpowering vinegar smell. Don't be alarmed, as that's what's evaporating.
3. When it's thickened (as shown in the photo), turn off the heat and let it cool. On a plate, make the thick threads and drops that appear on cooking shows. Repeat after me: Aaahhhhh, that was thaa ...
I use Cocinero, it's the best. Besides meats and salads, I use half a teaspoon on an empty stomach for when you have a slow digestion...very good. Greetings.
I saw a documentary on Gourmet Modena (apparently that's where it originates) and they even put it in fruit and desserts (little threads like chocolate, David Rocco and his cooking trips through Italy). Once I got Menoyo, I used a reduction and never tried it with pear again, and it's delicious. Thanks, Paulina, because I was tired of not being able to find it, so I visited Dr. Google and found you. Love.
“Repeat: aaaahhhhh, it was this.” Awesome, haha.
Although you used it in the salad, where else can you use it? With what meats?
Good morning, Paulina, your blog is great! I wanted to ask if this reduction can be kept? Thank you so much.
