WARM GARLIC BALSAMIC DRESSING



Warm Garlic Balsamic Dressing image

In the Emilia-Romagna region of northern Italy this dresses an antipasto salad of tart greens, fresh herbs and a pine nuts, all topped with long furls of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and Prosciutto di Parma. You could use it this way, or over steamed little new potatoes, tossed with arugula, fresh basil, and red onion. If meat is desired, add thin slices of rare roast lamb and you've a wonderful supper. The dressing is excellent over sauteed scallops or shrimps. Or just spoon it over a mixed salad of curly endive and other assertive greens like the organic salad mixes so popular now. It will overwhelm very delicate ones. Remember if dressing is too acid, simply simmer a little longer. Brands of balsamic to look for are Cavalli, Giusti, Mama Balducci, Noe, or even Fini. Cook time is an estimate.

8 -12 large garlic cloves, cut into 1/4 to 1/2 inch dice (no smaller)
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (fruity)
salt & freshly ground black pepper

4 -5 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons dark brown sugar

Steps:

  • In a medium skillet combine garlic, oil and some salt and pepper. Cook over medium low until garlic is soft and very light. (If it darkens, it will turn bitter. Throw everything away and start again.) Add the vinegars and sugar. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes.

SALAD WITH PROSCIUTTO & WARM BALSAMIC DRESSING



Salad With Prosciutto & Warm Balsamic Dressing image

From "The Splendid Table" by Lynne Rossetto Kasper, this is a favorite in my house. Its very easy to make but impressive to serve for company. Try using different greens. The dressing can be made in advance and kept at room temp for up to a few hours. This is great for a light main dish as well as a salad course. Serve with a good bread to sop up the dressing.
