- re: balsamic vinegar--Uses
-
- I use the vinegar in salads with olive oil and it is wonderful. Be
- careful, because it is dark and the flavor more rich - you need to
- experiment with amounts to get the taste you want.
-
- Here is a wonderful recipe for the vinegar. I originally used cider
- vinegar in this recipe but have changed to the balsamic and like it
- much better.
-
- 4 red bell peppers
- 1 large eggplant
-
- Dressing
- 2 cloves garlic, minced very fine
- 1 tsp dried hot red pepper, crushed
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp balsamic vinegar--you can use more
- garlic salt to taste
- fresh ground black pepper to taste
-
- Roast the bell peppers to blacken the skin. Place in a double paper
- bag and seal and steam for about 10-15 minutes. Remove and peel the
- blackened skin off the pepper. Remove the seeds and ribs. Scrape
- clean the peppers so that no pieces of the skin remains. Chop up the
- peppers--you can use more peppers I usually do. Trim the top and
- bottom of the eggplant and trim off the peeling. Cube the eggplant
- into 1/2" cubes. In a heavy skillet and a little bit of olive oil,
- saute the eggplant until just beginning to turn golden. You can add a
- little garlic salt to the eggplant as they cook if you want. Drain the
- eggplant well. Mix together the cooked eggplant and peppers. In a
- small deep bowl mix together all the ingredients for the dressing.
- Whip together with a whisk until well emulsified. Pour over the pepper
- and eggplant and mix together well. Place in a refrigerator and let
- marinate for 24 hours. Stir often while marinating.
-
- This is great with crackers or Triskets etc. My family likes to eat
- this on warm Vienna bread slices. Yum!
-
- Enjoy
