Ingredients:
- 8 large cloves garlic, chopped
- 3 Tbsp red wine vinegar
- 2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 Tbsp dark brown sugar
- 3–6 Tbsp best-quality balsamic vinegar
- Salt & freshly ground pepper to taste
Directions:
Sauté garlic in olive oil over very low heat 8 minutes or until barely colored.
Remove garlic with a slotted spoon and reserve. Turn the heat to medium-high;
add the vinegars to the oil. Cook a few moments or until the acid has diffused
slightly. Add brown sugar to taste, and let the mixture bubble slowly for
1 minute. Taste for sweet/tart balance. Be aware the mixture is very hot!
Stir in extra brown sugar or balsamic vinegar to taste. Stir in the reserved
garlic, and season with salt and pepper.
