Balsamic Glaze

Serves 1

Balsamic glaze is an excellent drizzle sauce for cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, chard, kale, mustard greens, rutabagas, and turnips.

Suits: Vegetarian, Pescatarian. Flags come from what shops, restaurants and cooks list and from the ingredient names. Always check the label. This is not medical advice.

  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon minced peeled ginger

  • Freshly-ground black pepper to taste

Method

  1. Combine ingredients in a blender and blend until just pureed.
  2. Transfer to a nonstick saucepan.
  3. Bring mixture to a boil, then immediately reduce heat to moderate.
  4. Cook, stirring frequently, until sauce is slightly syrupy.
  5. Check taste and if glaze seems too acidic, stir in slightly more honey.
